Just keep it simple and drop the extra logic.  It doesn't hurt to
over-sample the clock.  Here is what I did:

/* Covers both a 100 or a 125 MHz input clock. */
#define MV88E635X_OVERFLOW_PERIOD (HZ * 16)

static void mv88e635x_overflow_check(struct work_struct *ws)
{
	struct timespec64 ts;
	struct mv88e6xxx_chip *ps =
		container_of(ws, struct mv88e6xxx_chip, oflow_work.work);

	mv88e635x_ptp_gettime(&ps->ptp_info, &ts);
	pr_debug("mv88e635x overflow check at %lld.%09lu\n",
		 ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
	schedule_delayed_work(&ps->oflow_work, MV88E635X_OVERFLOW_PERIOD);
}

Thanks,
Richard
