The lan8814 has 4 different SKUs and for 2 of these SKUs the PTP is
disabled. All these SKUs have the same value in the register 2 and 3
meaning we can't differentiate them based on device id therefore check
the SKU register and based on this allow or not to create a PTP device.

Hasn't net also switched to the common kernel multiline comment style

I am not sure because I can see some previous commits where people used
the same comment style:
e82c64be9b45 ("net: stmmac: avoid PHY speed change when configuring MTU")
100dfa74cad9 ("net: dev_queue_xmit() llist adoption")

The special coding style for multi line comments for net and drivers/net
has been removed with
82b8000c28 ("net: drop special comment style")
But I checked a few mails on the list and also found the old style in
new patches.

I hope this means we aren't going to be flooded with loads of "cleanup"
patches converting the comment style.
I also think that the general rule of coding should still apply: keep to
the style that is already present in the file being modified - or if
you're intending to change style, one of the initial patches should do
that before one's own modifications (so the style remains consistent.)
Hopefully netdev maintainers will agree with this ^^^ :)

We removed the check that _suggests_ the use of the superior style.
Aesthetic taste is not evenly distributed within the population.
But we still prefer the old style in netdev.

I already had to remove the superior style on netdev. That's why I
