This is requesting hardware timestamping.

This usually indicates the driver is not sending the Tx timestamp back to the 
stack, especially if you increase it past a few milliseconds.

But skb_tstamp_tx is for software timestamping, if I recall correctly.

Try using the software timestamping option for ptp4l, and see if that works 
first. (Should be -S)
