> The PTP kworker is not freezable, so it can continue issuing MMIO
> accesses after the PCI function has entered D3hot. Both the periodic
> work updating the cached PHC time and the E822 offset calibration work,
> which reschedules itself while calibration is pending, are affected.

> Synchronously cancel both works when PTP is ready, after disabling the
> VSIs and before shutting down the control queues.
