imx6ull cpu frequency failed using 1588 time synchronization when operating at 792000

[Ethane]

Hi

I am using the ptp4l tool for time synchronization on imxlinux version 4.1.15, when I increase the cpu frequency to 792000, it skips time, but it doesn't happen when I am using linux 5.15, I would like to ask what changes have been made in the higher version.

Here is the printout of the time skip

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,

There are going to be changes in the kernel as well as the driver itself, probably,

You could go through the release notes for every release and look for the code improvements.

You are advised to move to latest BSP which features fixes to issues like this one.

Regards

Problem solved because the fec controller in linux 4.1.15 imx6ul did not add this configuration FEC_QUIRK_BUG_CAPTURE
