Nit: Please place ptp_vclock.o at the end of the list.

Can we please have a kthread worker here instead of work?

Experience shows that plain work can be delayed for a long, long time
on busy systems.

These two are okay, but ...

the similarity of naming is confusing for these two.  They are only
used in the .adjfine method.  How about this?

  PTP_VCLOCK_FADJ_NUMERATOR, or even PTP_VCLOCK_FADJ_SHIFT (see below)
  PTP_VCLOCK_FADJ_DENOMINATOR

Consider dropping CC from the name.
PTP_VCLOCK_REFRESH_INTERVAL sounds good to me.

Rather than

    scaled_ppm * (1 << 9)

I suggest

    scaled_ppm << 9

instead.  I suppose a good compiler would replace the multiplication
with a bit shift, but it never hurts to spell it out.
