            Bug ID: 647
           Summary: bnxt: ptpclient example doesn't work and produces
                    internal error message
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 20.11
          Hardware: x86
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev

Hello,

I am evaluating the Broadcom P2100G NIC using the bnxt driver. I am currently
using DPDK 20.11. Today I attempted to test the IEEE1588/PTP capability of the
driver using both testpmd and the ptpclient example that ships with DPDK. I
connected the Broadcom card to a different 100G NIC running the ptpd2 server in
Ethernet mode.

First, I tried ptpclient. I see valid Master clocks (from the remote NIC) but
the Slave clock looks like it was never set. It's showing a time around 1000s
and top reports an uptime of 15min (15min = 900s). Also, in each output cycle I
see an error message from bnxt_hwrm_port_ts_query().


Master Clock id: 00:07:43:ff:fe:59:21:a0

T3 - Slave  Clock.  997s 14579369ns
T4 - Master Clock.  1614874570s 194978000ns

I checked the master code branch and applied the one PTP-related commit I saw
(d3376cdc).

I also tried running testpmd in ieee1588 mode. It shows SYNC messages coming in
and bnxt timestamps around 5370s.

I have used both ptpclient and testpmd successfully with other NICs so I
believe this is an issue with bnxt. Has it been used for PTP traffic or is
there some initialization missing? Thank you for your help.
