Hi Richard,

First, my setup description was wrong, so please let me update it:

Master <--> Slave (with embedded KSZ switch)

   - Master is using HW timestamps.
   - Slave has an embedded ptp switch (KSZ9477) which provides the Slave
   device HW timestamps.

1. Is your answer still valid after my setup description update ?
2. To use TC, do I need to run both master and slave in P2P mode ?

Thanks,
Joseph
