Didn’t realize that Maciek Machnikowski’s proposal for PTP Time of Day proposal is still pending. I have attached here for reference.

I'm sorry, I still don't follow. What exactly is "PTP" and "TOD" here? Is the ptp4l's PTP port in master or slave state? If former, why would you need free_running_mode. If latter, what is the point of running ptp4l? > With autocfg option phc2sys tries to get the phc_index from ptp4l to > determine the source.

Well, to me that would seem like the right thing to do. The PHC is not synchronized, so phc2sys shouldn't be using it for synchronization of other clocks. -- Miroslav Lichvar
