[PATCH v2] net: ethernet: rtsn: Fix a null pointer dereference in rtsn_probe()

[PATCH v2] net: ethernet: rtsn: Fix a null pointer dereference in rtsn_probe()

[Haoxiang Li]

Add check for the return value of rcar_gen4_ptp_alloc()
to prevent potential null pointer dereference.

Fixes: b0d3969d2b4d ("net: ethernet: rtsn: Add support for Renesas Ethernet-TSN")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Haoxiang Li <haoxiang_li2024@163.com>
---
Changes in v2:
- Add a blank line to make the grouping similar to the
style of other error checks in probe. Thanks, Niklas!
