> Commit 7c571ac57d9d ("net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to
> ptp_clock_info") modified the PTP core to validate the supported flags

> stmmac_enable() and dwmac1000_ptp_enable() ignore the flags, and
> neither stmmac_ptp_clock_ops nor dwmac1000_ptp_clock_ops was given any
> .supported_extts_flags. Since PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 always implies
> PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, the core now rejects every PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 for
> this driver with -EOPNOTSUPP, where before that commit the same
> requests succeeded. Only the PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl still works.
