From: Tim Hostetler <hidden>

ptp_clock should never be registered unless it stubs one of gettimex64()
or gettime64() and settime64(). WARN_ON_ONCE and error out if either set
of function pointers is null.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: d7d38f5bd7be ("ptp: use the 64 bit get/set time methods for the posix clock.")
