This is only the case when the interface is down. This can be reproduced
by reading with 'phc_ctrl eth0 get'.

Like described in the change in 91c0d987a9788dcc5fe26baafd73bf9242b68900
the igp clock is disabled when the interface is down and leads to a
system hang.

So we check if the ptp clock status before reading the timecounter
register.

Comment is rather redundant. Drop it or say _when_ ptp_clk_on may not
be true.

Why is the PTP interface registered when it can't be accessed?

Perhaps the driver should unregister the PTP clock when it's brought
down?
