Hi Miroslav,
Thanks!
In my understanding of "Time Aware Bridge", it doesn't correct/adjust/tune the
PHC. Is that not correct?

IIRC gPTP has time-aware bridges which are equivalent to PTP boundary
clocks. ptp4l as a boundary clock doesn't require any special
configuration. For a gPTP example see configs/gPTP.cfg in the linuxptp
tarball/repository.
If your interfaces don't share a PTP clock, you will need to enable
the boundary_clock_jbod option and run phc2sys to keep the two PHCs
synchronized. However, that might not meet the gPTP requirements on
accuracy.
