Research by Markus showed that after commit 4657a5301eb5 ("realtek: avoid busy waiting for RTL839x PHY read/write"), the ethernet driver could only update a phy once per timer interval, which also heavily impacted boot time. On e.g. a Zyxel GS1900-48, this added around a minute to the time to fully initialise the switch. By marking the otto clocksource as continuous, the kernel enables it to be used for high resolution timers. This allows readx_poll_timeout() to sleep for less than one system timer interval, reducing system dead time.
