We simply do not have a way to support MAC and PHY time stamping and PTP Hardware Clocks at the same time. Sure, it must be somehow possible, but that would involve extending SO_TIMESTAMPING yet again, and this is not worth the effort, IMHO. There is exactly one PHY on the market that supports time stamping, and yes, people who design their boards with it generally want to use it. They have to enable CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING and disable MAC time stamping.
