From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

This series fixes RAVB PTP clock lifetime handling. It reports a cached PHC
index without accessing the clock pointer and drains PTP interrupts before
unregistering the clock.

Patch 1 caches the PHC index and handles registration failures.

Patch 2 detaches the clock with xchg() and drains the PTP IRQs before
unregistering it.

---
Changes:
v4:
  - Rebase onto Linux 7.2-rc7.
  Patch 1:
  - Cache the PHC index separately instead of locking clock access.
    (Vadim Fedorenko)
  - Reword the subject and update the commit message for the cached PHC
    index approach.
  - Add Vadim Fedorenko's Reviewed-by tag.
  Patch 2:
  - Replace priv->lock serialization with PTP interrupt disabling and IRQ
    draining before unregistering the clock. (Vadim Fedorenko)
  - Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() for lockless clock pointer access and
    xchg() to detach the clock atomically.
  - Track the error and management IRQs and synchronize all IRQs that can
    invoke the PTP handler.
  - Update the commit message to describe the interrupt handler race and
    the new teardown sequence.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260806095126.57803-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev/
  Patch 1:
  - Omit Niklas Söderlund's Reviewed-by tag because the implementation he
    reviewed has changed.
  - Describe the NULL pointer dereference before the first open as the most
    likely failure mode in the commit message. (Jakub Kicinski, Sashiko)
  - Normalize PTP clock registration failures to NULL.
    (Jakub Kicinski, Sashiko)
  - Keep hardware timestamping capabilities independent of PHC
    availability. (Jakub Kicinski, Sashiko)
  Patch 2 (new):
  - Serialize PTP clock publication and access with priv->lock, and detach
    the clock before unregistering it. (Jakub Kicinski, Sashiko)

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260802090750.116215-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev/
  - Only advertise hardware timestamping support when a PHC is available
    (Niklas Söderlund).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260731063254.71260-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev/

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

The PTP clock is unavailable before the first open, so querying its
index can dereference a NULL pointer. Registration failures can also
leave an error pointer in priv->ptp.clock.

Cache the PHC index separately and report -1 while no clock is
registered. Normalize registration errors to NULL and preserve the
static timestamping capabilities.

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

ravb_ptp_interrupt() can race with ravb_ptp_stop() and pass the clock to
ptp_clock_event() while ptp_clock_unregister() is freeing it. This can
lead to a use-after-free.

Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() for lockless access to the clock pointer.
Atomically detach it with xchg() before disabling PTP interrupts, then
synchronize all IRQs which can invoke ravb_ptp_interrupt() before
unregistering the detached clock.

A handler which read the old pointer completes before the clock is
unregistered, while later handlers read NULL and skip the event.
