did I miss the discussion about this change? I thought that the first goal is
to use KSZ switches as a boundary clock which implies using the 802.1AS feature.

Using the KSZ in P2P transparent clock mode IMHO requires writing the peer delays
into switch registers (which needs to be implemented in a companion 
application/script for ptp4p).

As far as I remember, there is also no support using ptp4l with 1-step transparent
clock switches.
