If this is supposed to be an error message, it doesn't convey that
something is really wrong to the user. Maybe something like this would
be more meaningful to the user:

	"PTP clock rate should not be zero, using 1GHz instead. PTP
	clock may be unreliable.\n"

It may be appropriate not to publish PTP support for the interface if
we don't have a valid clock rate, which is probably the safer approach
and would probably make the problem more noticable to the end user so
it gets fixed.

Make Sense.

Do you mean that print an error message then return directly? It seems better.

if (!fep->cycle_speed) {
	dev_err(&fep->pdev->dev, "PTP clock rate should not be zero!\n");
	return;
}

Hi Joakim,

Nearly - one has to ensure that the cleanup functions don't provoke a
crash though. I notice fec_ptp_stop() makes use of fep->time_keep
and also fep->ptp_clock.

fep->time_keep is initialised after where you need to test for zero
cycle_speed, so the initialisation would need moving earlier.

I would have thought that ftp->ptp_clock should be NULL, so that's
probably okay, but should be checked that this assumption is in fact
true.

I'd still say something like "PTP clock rate should not be zero,
disabling PTP" - say what's wrong and what we are doing. Also,
please avoid exclaimation marks in error messages.

Thanks.
