+Description:
+		This file contains the ptp virtual clocks number in use,
+		based on current ptp physical clock. In default, the
+		value is 0 meaning only ptp physical clock is in use.
+		Setting the value can create corresponding number of ptp
+		virtual clocks to use. But current ptp physical clock is
+		guaranteed to stay free running. Setting the value back
+		to 0 can delete ptp virtual clocks and back use ptp
+		physical clock again.
