e1000e: fix timing for 82579 Gigabit Ethernet controller
After an upgrade to Linux kernel v4.x the hardware timestamps of the 82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller are different than expected. The values that are being read are almost four times as big as before the kernel upgrade. The difference is that after the upgrade the driver sets the clock frequency to 25MHz, where before the upgrade it was set to 96MHz. Intel confirmed that the correct frequency for this network adapter is 96MHz.
