When accessing the timecounter register on an i.MX8MQ the kernel hangs. This is only the case when the interface is down. This can be reproduced by reading with 'phc_ctrl eth0 get'. Like described in the change in 91c0d987a9788dcc5fe26baafd73bf9242b68900 the igp clock is disabled when the interface is down and leads to a system hang. So we check if the ptp clock status before reading the timecounter register.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
