Yes.  Unless your sub-function is used in more than one place, then it
is wasteful and confusing to wrap the functionality for no apparent
reason.

But what happens when the PTP_CLK_REQ_EXTTS and PTP_CLK_REQ_PPS ioctls
are called at the same time?

You need to ensure that IDR is consistent.  If the bits are write
only, then you should comment this fact.
