wx_ptp_init()/wx_ptp_reset() recalculate shift/mul configuration based
on link speed. link down/link up sequence may bring new link speed,
where these values have to reconfigured, right? I kinda agree
that full procedure of wx_ptp_init() might not be needed, but we have to
be sure not to reuse old ptp configuration.
