Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] net: stmmac: make sure that ptp_rate is not 0
 before configuring timestamping

The stmmac platform drivers that do not open-code the clk_ptp_rate value
after having retrieved the default one from the device-tree can end up
with 0 in clk_ptp_rate (as clk_get_rate can return 0). It will
eventually propagate up to PTP initialization when bringing up the
interface, leading to a divide by 0:

 Division by zero in kernel.

 Exception stack(0xe0815fb0 to 0xe0815ff8)

Prevent this division by 0 by adding an explicit check and error log
about the actual issue. While at it, remove the same check from
stmmac_ptp_register, which then becomes duplicate
