The end customer being ptp4linux? At least for Marvell switches, it is
happy about everything except that the switch is a bit slow, so we
need to modify some of the time outs in the configuration file.

It is not a 1:1 relationship. See:

All interfaces return the same index.

In fact, for a switch, having a PHC per port would be odd. That would
mean you need to sync the PHCs in order to act as a boundary clock.
