Here you go:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git ktime-get-clock-ts64-for-ptp

I merged it locally into net-next, applied the PTP patches on top and
verified that the combination with the tip timers/ptp branch, which has
the tag integrated and the workaround removed, creates the expected
working result.

Thanks,
