I figured out that I was not adjusting the freq drift right. With that fix,
I am able to see valid freq values. However, I now see

ptp4l[206514.694]: clockcheck: clock jumped backward or running slower than
expected!
ptp4l[206514.694]: master offset -11793044594 s0 freq +31000000 path delay
69948126

repeated many times over. I see similar errors reported in other threads. I
will go through and check if any of the solution fixes for me.
However, this is my ptp4l config. If there appears anything obviously wrong
I'd be glad if pointed out.
Thanks so much in advance.
