To expand a bit on this, there is no information provided back to
ptp4l/phc2sys about the state of the clock from the consumer, or
whether the samples are actually accepted and used for
synchronization.

It wouldn't. phc2sys is needed when ptp4l synchronizes a PHC. With
software timestamping it should be ptp4l using the ntpshm servo.
