The ptp_clock_register() function returns NULL when it's #ifdefed out
because CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK is disabled.  Otherwise, it's intended to
return error pointers.  Unfortunately, there are a couple paths where we
forget to set the error code.  It means that we could result in NULL
pointer dereferences in the callers.

Fixes: d94ba80ebbea ("ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.")
This "Fixes" tag references the wrong commit.  Please correct it.

Thanks,
Richard
