This is happening on both GM ptp test environments (helix59 and helix60) 
Both of these environments were working with the same configs on 4.16 yesterday.
This is not happening in our OC/BC environment.

OCP 4.18.0-ec.2
ptp-operator.v4.18.0-202410222209

100% two environments

    1. Deploy 4.18 SNO with ptp-operator.v4.18.0-202410222209
    2. Check linuxptp-daemon pod - numerous restarts shown
    3. Check linuxptp-daemon-container for error, "panic: interface conversion: interface {} is int64, not int"     

pod continuously restarts and operator is not functional    

pod starts correctly and operator functions normally
