What are the reset defaults of these?

Those are actually the reset values.

I'm just wondering if we should
explicitly set them to 0, so we don't get into a mess where some
vendor bootloader sets values but mainline bootloader does not,
breaking a configuration where the userspace daemon does the correct?

It would be fine for me to set them to 0. But then definitely we need a
way to set these latencies from userspace.
I would like to keep the default values. With default values, you can
get PTP working (accuracy is not great - but it is much better than
if set to zero).

There is no risk of bootloaders to pre-load other values, as the kernel
will reset the PHY, and after reset we will be back to these numbers.
