What do you mean by "this is connected to a 7-port switch"?

Do you mean that:

1. the MAC on the imx6 is physically connected to a switch using an
   Ethernet cable?

2. or that the interface is part of a Linux software bridge, configured
   with "brctl add" ?

In the case of number 2, PTP won't work.

Thanks,
