[PATCH v3] ptp: fix an IS_ERR() vs NULL check

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-07 06:01:03
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, ptp hardware clock support, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Richard Cochran, Linus Torvalds

We recently modified pps_register_source() to return error pointers
instead of NULL but it seems like there was a merge issue and part of
the commit was lost.  Anyway, the ptp_clock_register() function needs to
be updated to check for IS_ERR() as well.

Fixes: 3b1ad360acad ("pps: using ERR_PTR instead of NULL while pps_register_source fails")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <redacted>

v2:  Use the correct Fixes tag.
v3:  Add Greg to the CC list for real this time.
