You would have needed '&' and not '|' here.

Also, using a flag limits the code to your platform.  This works for
you, but it is short sighted.  The other MACB PTP blocks have
different register layouts, and this patch does not lay the ground
work for the others.

The driver needs to be designed to support the other platforms.

Thanks,
