Thanks for comment. I did a homework and found out the root cause is
using PTP clocks before they are properly enabled. As I understand,
the clocks, especially the composite variant, require preparation and/or
enabling them, what is not managed correctly for PTP clocks when
stmmac_platform is used. In this case, the PTP clock value is read this way:

   stmmac_probe_config_dt:
   // https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/4a5df37964673effcd9f84041f7423206a5ae5f2/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_platform.c#L634

	/* Fall-back to main clock in case of no PTP ref is passed */
	plat->clk_ptp_ref = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "ptp_ref");
	if (IS_ERR(plat->clk_ptp_ref)) {
		plat->clk_ptp_rate = clk_get_rate(plat->stmmac_clk);
		plat->clk_ptp_ref = NULL;
		dev_info(&pdev->dev, "PTP uses main clock\n");
	} else {
		plat->clk_ptp_rate = clk_get_rate(plat->clk_ptp_ref);
		dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "PTP rate %d\n", plat->clk_ptp_rate);
	}

If I change getter to enabled getter:
	plat->clk_ptp_ref = devm_clk_get_enabled(&pdev->dev, "ptp_ref");

The driver got valid rate and the patch is not needed anymore.

So, if I didn't miss something, it seems like I have to replace the current
patch with one fixing clk getter.
