mlxsw: spectrum_ptp: Initialize the clock to zero as part of initialization
As lately recommended in the mailing list[1], set the clock to zero time as part of initialization. The idea is that when the clock reads 'Jan 1, 1970', then it is clearly wrong and user will not mistakenly think that the clock is set correctly. If as part of initialization, the driver sets the clock, user might see correct date and time (maybe with a small shift) and assume that there is no need to sync the clock. Fix the existing code of Spectrum-1 to set the 'timecounter' to zero.
