Even if we added new net_device->phylink hooks, I bet that davem would reject them for that reason. We can't just add to net_device for vaporware. The whole point of _this_ series is the first patch. That new option is important for complete PTP support, and it could be used by every PTP hardware. Unfortunately I only have one device in hand that implements this, and that is the reason why you see patches 2-5. Thanks, Richard
