the platform driver (except maybe dwmac-qcom-ethqos.c, which enforces an
open-coded clk_ptp_rate after the stmmac_probe_config_dt call that sets
the clk_ptp_rate), if the platform declares a dedicated clk_ptp_ref clock.
So I would rather say that it can affect most of the platforms.

In my case, I have observed the issue with the dwmac-stm32.c driver, on an
STM32MP157a-dk1 platform.

Ok, I'll add a relevant Fixes tag.
