Bug#1070847: ptp4l systemd-service starts before hardware is fully up
Package: linuxptp
Version: 4.2-1
When (re-)booting the system the dependencies of ptp4l@.service (and phc2sys@.service) do not seem to be sufficient as the hardware (in this case eth0) is not up and running when those services are started, leading to a fail in SIOCSHWTSTAMP when using phc2sys -a -rr in phc2sys@.service
ptp4l[540]: [2.126] driver rejected most general HWTSTAMP filter
ptp4l[540]: [2.126] ioctl SIOCSHWTSTAMP failed: Invalid argument
ptp4l[540]: [2.138] port 1 (eth0): INITIALIZING to FAULTY on FAULT_DETECTED (FT_UNSPECIFIED)
ptp4l[540]: [2.138] port 0 (/var/run/ptp4l): INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INIT_COMPLETE
ptp4l[540]: [2.138] port 0 (/var/run/ptp4lro): INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INIT_COMPLETE
ptp4l[538]: [2.142] ioctl SIOCETHTOOL failed: No such device
ptp4l[538]: [2.156] ioctl SIOCETHTOOL failed: No such device
ptp4l[538]: failed to create a clock
ptp4l[538]: [2.156] PTP device not specified and automatic determination is not supported. Please specify PTP device.
