Below if pure TBD/RFC version of patch which add kthread worker to PTP core.
I'm sending it to get you opinion about implementation in general, before
continue with more changes. Pls, take a look if you have time?
- are you ok with names (API, callbacks, ptp structs members)?

I can prepare, update and resend proper patches tom if feedback is positive.
I also can convert dp83640 driver to use new feature, but I can't test it.

Subject: [PATCH] [rfc] ptp: add auxiliary worker

Add auxiliary kthread worker to PTP core so drivers can
re-use it and benefit from common implementation which is RT
friendly... TBD
