The *naming* was the least of the concerns I expressed :)

Before we bikeshed that too hard, we should understand what it would
contain.

If we move all the plain non-network PHC drivers (which, as noted, is
basically *all* of them) into a drivers/ subdirectory, then perhaps we
call it linux-ptp-drivers.git?

I think that addresses Jakub's original complaint which brought us
here, doesn't it?

Although I would quite like to carry things like Arthur's new ioctls,
once they have your blessing. Those will go on top of Thomas's
ktime_get_snapshot series, once that has a stable commit ID.
