Hello Miroslav,

Thanks for the input. I tried the method you suggested and one step change
is working fine.

*Sequence followed:*
My test setup contains 11 TSN nodes and switched on the Grand Master node
first and switched on the rest of the 10 nodes one by one and they came
into sync within my bounded time.

*Problem:*
If the GM is not switched ON then the one step jump is not happening, could
you please let me know how to enable the nodes to have "multiple steps" so
that I need not worry about the above sequence
