Internal timer on the Mellanox card runs significantly faster than the default one obtained via CLOCK_REALTIME while using real-time kernel
Issue
On the real-time kernel the PHC timer on the Mellanox card ticks significantly faster than the system clock obtained via CLOCK_REALTIME. Changing the timer frequency with the phc_ctl
tool does not help.
