It's definitely not complete yet and I'm not surprised there are bugs
(although I did my best to support also future cases, it's hard to get
it right without the actual code to test it).

My plan for the next steps has been allowing ptp4l to work with multiple
independent PHCs that would form a PTP clock (and rely on phc2sys to
sync those PHCs). This needs separation of struct clock into two
structures, as some fields are per-PTP clock and some are per-PHC.
I have a patch that does this but it needs to be rebased.

I think this is a prerequisite to having a boundary clock that uses
multiple PHCs, I cannot imagine how it could work without this
separation.

What is not solved is the problem that Miroslav pointed out (and also
pointed out to me earlier): the sync messages cannot be sent until the
clock is really synced. This will need further communication between
ptp4l and phc2sys.

I still intend to work on this but have less time to work on linuxptp
than before.
