Unfortunately, I’ve not yet received any response on the Intel list. While it’s quite clear that both the i211 and i354 require some compensation, I don’t have a good way to determine it other than by shots in the dark. The i211 seems to correspond with the i210 correction parameters, so I am currently using those for the i210, but the i354 is completely different. Still at it.

I’ve also been able to test different chipsets. The short version of all the tests is that there is clear asymmetry with hardware timestamps. Based on research and the fact that the asymmetry varies with chipset, my best guess is that the hardware tx/rx timestamps are incorrect and need compensation in the driver. The 4.8.X kernel introduced compensation for the i210, but not for the i211 or the i354 (which I am testing with). I have a query into the Intel folk about this and will let you know what they say.
