While some platforms implementing dwmac open-code the clk_ptp_rate
value, some others dynamically retrieve the value at runtime. If the
retrieved value happens to be 0 for any reason, it will eventually
propagate up to PTP initialization when bringing up the interface,
leading to a divide by 0:
[...]

From your description, I cannot determine the scope
of "some platforms". My point is: if there are only
a few platforms, can we find a way to handle this in
the directory of the corresponding platform?
From what I can see, it can affect any platform using the stmmac driver as
the platform driver (except maybe dwmac-qcom-ethqos.c, which enforces an
open-coded clk_ptp_rate after the stmmac_probe_config_dt call that sets
the clk_ptp_rate), if the platform declares a dedicated clk_ptp_ref clock.
So I would rather say that it can affect most of the platforms.

In my case, I have observed the issue with the dwmac-stm32.c driver, on an
STM32MP157a-dk1 platform.
Okay!

And there need a Fixes tag.
Ok, I'll add a relevant Fixes tag.

On this premise,
