Sorry for being vague, Richard.  I meant PTP driver is still accessing
registers.

With Fugang's clock management patch, FEC clocks will be disabled to
save power after FEC gets probed.  But at that point, fec_ptp driver
already launches a timer, which will trigger the read on FEC ATIME
register once per second.
