No, you are mistaken.  In the original patch, NULL or PTR_ERR were
returned on error, and that was not a bug.

If you want to correct the present version of ptp_clock_register() to
always return a valid pointer or PTR_ERR (like the kerneldoc says), be
my guest, but please say that in the change log and reference the
correct commit (namely the one related to disabling POSIX clocks.)

Thanks,
