You will still need to enable the TCAM using the tc command to have it
working when the interface is part of the bridge.

FWIW, with ocelot (same VCAP mechanism), PTP traps work out of the box,
no need to use tc. Same goes for ocelot-8021q, which also uses the VCAP.
I wouldn't consider forcing the user to add any tc command in order for
packet timestamping to work properly.

Esp. because there is no warning. I.e. I tried this patch while
the interface was added on a bridge and there was no error
whatsoever. Also, you'd force the user to have that Kconfig option
set.
