RE: [PATCH net] net: micrel: Fix PTP frame parsing for lan8841

> The HW has the capability to check each frame if it is a PTP frame, which
> domain it is, which ptp frame type it is, different ip address in the frame. And if
> one of these checks fail then the frame is not timestamp. Most of these checks
> were disabled except checking the field minorVersionPTP inside the PTP
> header. Meaning that once a partner sends a frame compliant to 8021AS
> which has minorVersionPTP set to 1, then the frame was not timestamp
> because the HW expected by default a value of 0 in minorVersionPTP.
> Fix this issue by removing this check so the userspace can decide on this.
