I agree that the documentation isn't very good. But it is not the Mac that will put the timestamp information into the PTP packet. All that it does is to give a timestamp for the packet send or receive operation. It is the software responsibility to get that timestamp from the MAC and convert it to the correct PTP time and insert it in the PTP packets.

I wished too that they provided a design example. As the MAC they use is a Synopsys Designware IP, it may be possible to find examples from other sources on the net.
