This indentation looks funny, how about:

int (*getsynctime64)(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp, struct timespec64 *dev,
struct timespec64 *sys);

I prefer another name, like "cross_timestamping" or similar. I get
lots and lots of nube questions about PTP, and people will start
asking whether this means their packet time stamps are bad.

Also, could you update Documentation/ptp/testptp.c with the new field?

Thanks,
