If user close the ethx interface, or do suspend operation, fec driver will
Close all clocks to save power, we also need to stop ptp, otherwise ptp timer
Keep access register that cause system hang.

I don't think this is a good method, maybe I need some time to struct better solution.

There need one period timer to sync hw timer to avoid 32 bit hw counter overflow.
