This is actually a valid fix to a,
885c5e57924dc0 ("ice: fix 'adjust' timer programming for E830 devices"),
which allows the E830 HW to continue in the function 
and then invoke the following: (with some ice_debug() messages enabled)

[ 2946.907728] ice 0000:6c:00.0: Failed to send message to PHY, err -5
[ 2946.907731] ice 0000:6c:00.0: Failed to prepare PHY ports for timer command 
2, err -5
[ 2946.907733] ice 0000:6c:00.0: PTP failed to adjust time, err -5

But the patchwork lists it as Changes Requested. Any idea what happened with it?
