> There are 2 issues with the blamed commit.
> 1. When the phy is initialized, it would enable the disabled of UDPv4
> checksums. The UDPv6 checksum is already enabled by default. So when
> 1-step is configured then it would clear these flags.
> 2. After the 1-step is configured, then if 2-step is configured then the
> 1-step would be still configured because it is not clearing the flag.
> So the sync frames will still have origin timestamps set.
>
> Fix this by reading first the value of the register and then just change bit 12 as
> this one determines if the timestamp needs to be inserted in the frame,
> without changing any other bits.
