[net 04/18] net/mlx5e: Set PTP channel pointer explicitly to NULL

From: Saeed Mahameed <saeed@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-10 19:04:51
Also in: linux-rdma
Subsystem: mellanox ethernet driver (mlx5e), mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Leon Romanovsky, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Aya Levin <redacted>

When closing the PTP channel, set its pointer explicitly to NULL. PTP
channel is opened on demand, the code verify the pointer validity before
access. Nullify it when closing the PTP channel to avoid unexpected
behavior.
