Hi Horatiu,

Currently lan966x, doesn't allow to run PTP over interfaces that are
part of the bridge. The reason is when the lan966x was receiving a
PTP frame (regardless if L2/IPv4/IPv6) the HW it would flood this
frame.
Now that it is possible to add VCAP rules to the HW, such to trap these
frames to the CPU, it is possible to run PTP also over interfaces that
are part of the bridge.

This gives me:

# /etc/init.d/S65ptp4l start
Starting linuxptp daemon: OK
[ 44.136870] vcap_val_rule:1678: keyset was not updated: -22
[ 44.140196] vcap_val_rule:1678: keyset was not updated: -22

# ptp4l -v

# uname -a
Linux buildroot 6.1.0-rc8-next-20221208+ #924 SMP Thu Dec 8 10:08:58

I don't know whats going on, but I'm happy to help with debugging with some
guidance.

Oh, and linuxptp is running on eth0, no bridges are set up. linuxptp
is started with "/usr/sbin/ptp4l -f /etc/linuxptp.cfg"

# cat /etc/linuxptp.cfg
# LinuxPTP configuration file for synchronizing the system clock to
# a remote PTP master in slave-only mode.
#
# By default synchronize time in slave-only mode using UDP and hardware time
# stamps on eth0. If the difference to master is >1.0 second correct by
# stepping the clock instead of adjusting the frequency.
#
# If you change the configuration don't forget to update the phc2sys
# parameters accordingly in linuxptp-system-clock.service (systemd)
# or the linuxptp SysV init script.
