This still isn't quite right.  First of all, you shouldn't clobber the
learned cc.mult value in cpts_register().  Presumably, if PTP had been
run on this port before, then the learned frequency is approximately
correct, and it should be left alone.

[ BTW, resetting the timecounter here makes no sense either.  Why
  reset the clock just because the interface goes down?  ]

Secondly, you have made the initialization order of these fields hard
to follow.  With the whole series applied:

probe()
	cpts_create()
		cpts_of_parse()
		{
			/* Set cc_mult but not cc.mult! */
			set cc_mult
			set cc.shift
		}
		cpts_calc_mult_shift()
		{
			/* Set them both. */
			cpts->cc_mult = mult;
			cpts->cc.mult = mult;
			cpts->cc.shift = shift;
		}
/* later on */
cpts_register()
	cpts->cc.mult = cpts->cc_mult;

There is no need for such complexity.  Simply set cc.mult in
cpts_create() _once_, immediately after the call to
cpts_calc_mult_shift().

You can remove the assignment from cpts_calc_mult_shift() and
cpts_register().
