The driver advertises "max_adj".  The PHC layer checks user space inputs:

ptp_clock.c line 140:
	} else if (tx->modes & ADJ_FREQUENCY) {
		s32 ppb = scaled_ppm_to_ppb(tx->freq);
		if (ppb > ops->max_adj || ppb < -ops->max_adj)
			return -ERANGE;

So, if the max_adj is correct for the driver/HW, then all is well.

Thanks,
Richard
