I'm working with i350 and the IGB driver without any problem. I know "very well" your problem because I was getting the same and I was wander about the possibility of a driver/HW issue. But after many days of continuous tests and a lot of debug information collected (igress and origin timestamp from ptp4l, tcpdump for the network) I haven't seen any error due to inconsistent read of the HW clock or something like that, but I instead discovered a problem in a TC in our facility.
So I feel to say that i350 and the driver are ok.

Is the Intel IGB (i350 controller) also affected or which Intel adapter to you recommend for PTP? We are fairly free in choosing a suitable adapter. Thanks for a short feedback.
