A few minor questions/comments follow...

So I guess this incantation obviates the need for checking whether
ptp_clock_register() returns null?

Since this is a noop, you can leave 
	tai->caps.do_aux_work = mvpp22_tai_aux_work;
as null.

The consensus on the list seems to be that new PHCs should start
ticking from time zero (1970), although some older drivers do use
ktime.  For new clocks, I'd prefer using zero.
