PTPConfig represents a PTP (Precision Time Protocol) configuration.
FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
devices[]stringdescription:
A list of PTP devices to sync with (e.g. provided by the hypervisor).

A PTP device is typically represented as a character device file in the /dev directory,
such as /dev/ptp0 or /dev/ptp_kvm. These devices are used to synchronize the system time
with an external time source that supports the Precision Time Protocol.
