The same issue was observed with the ice driver:
https://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/intel-wired-lan/Week-of-Mon-20221107/030633.html

I tried to fix it generally in the vclock support, but was not
successful. There was a hint it would be fixed in the driver. I'm not
sure what is the best approach here.
