I am currently working with two i.MX6 UL Eval Boards. I tried with one of
the boards as master and the other one as slave as well as my workstation
as master and the boards as slaves. It works but I didn't do any comparison
with other setups. I had more problems with the drivers for the onboard
network interface in my workstation. Now I use the Intel i210.

I can not say much about quality of the NXP/Freescale driver code though.
To date, I just skimmed some code to get a rough understanding how their
PTP support is implemented.
