The stmmac driver supports many vendors SoCs using Synopsys-licensed
Ethernet controller IP. Most of these vendors reuse the stmmac_platform
codebase, which has a potential PTP clock initialization issue.
The PTP clock rate reading might require ungating what is not provided.

Fix the PTP clock initialization by enabling it immediately.

Looking at where the driver makes use of clk_ptp_ref, it currently
prepares and enables this clock via stmmac_open(), disables and
unprepares via stmmac_release().

There could be a platform where this is being used as a power saving
measure, and replacing devm_clk_get() with devm_clk_get_enabled() will
defeat that.

I would suggest that if you need the clock to be enabled in order to
get its rate, then the call to clk_get_rate() should have the
enable/disable around it to allow these other sites to work as they
have done.

Alternatively, we may take the view that the power saving is not
necessary, or stopping the clock is not a good idea (loss of time
in the 1588 block?) so the above changed would be sensible but only
if the clk_prepare_enable() and clk_disable_unprepare() calls on
this particular clock are also removed.

I can't say which is the correct way forward.
