Also as the "user" is not described in the ptp_clock structure the only way to
find it is to roll through all the PTP of the concerned net device topology.
This find ptp loop will not be in the hotpath but only when getting the tsinfo
of a PHC or changing the current PHC. Is it ok for you?

I am at v20 so I ask for confirmation before changing the full patch series! ;)
