From Alex:
There is no way to check PTP hardware capabilities upfront.
So after PTP configuration is applied we rely on ptp4l process to see it is valid configuration or not.
ptp4l fails to start In case it is not valid and a node goes into a reboot loop.
Waiting for collectd work to complete to change the behavior: will raise alarm in case of unsupported PTP mode.
