nit: can be a single line.

I understand from your response on v1 as to why it will not affect you
if a new firmware does not report RTC on MH.
However, once you update the fw, any subsequent kernels upgrades will
prevent resetting the freq stored in the PHC.
Would changing the check to if (BNXT_MH(bp)) instead be a better option?
