mchp_rds_ptp_probe() may return NULL when CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK is disabled.  

When CONFIG_MICROCHIP_PHY_RDS_PTP=n, the stub for
mchp_rds_ptp_probe() also returns NULL, even if
CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=y. Please mention this case in the commit message.

Speaking of improvements to the commits message - please also explain
how the issue was found, reproduced, and fix validated.

It'd be good to improve the spalling of your name (rather just
repeating your email login) a little; or just add your real name in
unicode characters in () brackets, like huhai ($unicode chars) <email>.
