Subject: [net 6/6] igb: fix PHC stopping on max freq

From: Jiri Benc <jbenc@...hat.com>

For 82576 MAC type, max_adj is reported as 1000000000 ppb. However, if
this value is passed to igb_ptp_adjfreq_82576, incvalue overflows out of
INCVALUE_82576_MASK, resulting in setting of zero TIMINCA.incvalue, stopping
the PHC (instead of going at twice the nominal speed).

Fix the advertised max_adj value to the largest value hardware can handle.
As there is no min_adj value available (-max_adj is used instead), this will
also prevent stopping the clock intentionally. It's probably not a big deal,
other igb MAC types don't support stopping the clock, either.
