Yes. "Any kind of PTP Event" is a superset of "Any Layer-2 Event".

When userland asks for "any kind", then it wants to run PTP over IPv4,
IPv6, or Layer2, maybe even more than one at the same time. If the
driver changes that to Layer2 only, then the PTP possibilities have
been downgraded.

Thanks,
Richard
