Hi Claudiu,

Thanks for your work.

This is hard to parse at first glance, the last row have odd indentation 
and the mixing of read and write info is odd. I know this reflects how 
it's written in the datasheet, but at least there the indentation is 
correct. Also missing here is the fact that only 1 can be written to the 
bit.

Can you describe in the commit why this fix is needed. I agree it is, 
but would be nice to record why. As this have a fixes tags have you hit 
an issue? Or are you correcting the driver based on the datasheet?

Maybe a more informative commit message could be to describe the change 
and why it's needed instead of the register layout?

  The driver do not wait for the confirmation of the configuring request 
  of the gPTP timer increment before moving on. Add a check to make sure 
  the request completes successfully.

nit: Maybe create a helper for this so future fixes only need to be 
addressed in one location?
