PTP only generates a couple of messages per second which need to be
timestamped. Therefore, this behavior shouldn't be a problem.

hellcreek (and mv88e6xxx) do the same thing, simply because the device
can only hold only one Tx timestamp. If we'd allow more than one PTP
packet in flight, there will be correlation problems. I've tested with
default and gPTP profile without any problems. What PTP profiles do have
in mind?

Not for the b53. It will generate status frames for each to be
timestamped packet. However, I don't see the need to allow more than one
Tx packet per port to be timestamped at the moment.

Thanks,
Kurt
