I can’t see a place where you enable extended descriptor for PTP. Did you add 
support for extended PTP descriptor?
"DMA Configuration Register" 0x010:
29      tx_bd_extended_mode_en  "Enable TX extended BD mode. See TX BD control 
register definition for description of feature."
28      rx_bd_extended_mode_en  "Enable RX extended BD mode. See RX BD control 
register definition for description of feature."

Can I send you our patch for comparison ?
