There is a bug in ptp_clock_adjtime() which makes it refuse the
operation even if we just want to read the current clock dialed
frequency, not modify anything (tx->modes == 0). That should be possible
even if the clock is free-running. For context, the kernel UAPI is the
same for getting and setting the frequency of a POSIX clock.
For example, ptp4l errors out at clock_create() -> clockadj_get_freq()
-> clock_adjtime() time, when it should logically only have failed on
actual adjustments to the clock, aka if the clock was configured as
slave. But in master mode it should work.
This was discovered when examining the issue described in the previous
commit, where ptp_clock_freerun() returned true despite n_vclocks being
zero.

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 reStructuredText 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.
