Hi Pavan,
Thanks for the review comment.

The Ptp Hardware Clock (PHC) seconds register is 32 bit wide. To have
register overflow it takes 4,294,967,296 seconds which is approximately
around 136 Years. So, it is bigger value and assume that we don't need
to care of PHC second register overflow.
For the packet timestamping, value is read from 32 bit register. This
register is splited into 2 bits seconds + 30 bits nanoseconds register.
In the ksz_tstamp_reconstruct function, lower 2 bits in the ptp_data-
>clock_time is cleared and 2 bits from the timestamp register are
added.

spin_lock_bh(&ptp_data->clock_lock);
ptp_clock_time = ptp_data->clock_time;
spin_unlock_bh(&ptp_data->clock_lock);

/* calculate full time from partial time stamp */
ts.tv_sec = (ptp_clock_time.tv_sec & ~3) | ts.tv_sec;
