[PATCH v2 2/2] selftests: ptp: treat unsupported PHC operations as skip

[Junjie Cao <junjie.cao@intel.com>]

Some PTP hardware clock (PHC) devices may return -EOPNOTSUPP for
operations like settime, adjtime, or adjfreq. This commonly occurs
with timestamp-only PHC implementations that don't support full clock
control.

For background, syzbot previously exposed a crash risk when PTP clock
drivers lacked required callbacks[1]. Subsequent work[2] made callback
presence a registration requirement. As a result, some drivers (like
iwlwifi MVM/MLD[3]) now provide stub callbacks that return -EOPNOTSUPP
for unsupported operations.

When phc_ctl encounters such devices, the "Operation not supported"
error should be treated as a skip (device limitation) rather than a
test failure. This patch:
- Adds [SKIP] output handling in log_test()
- Detects "Operation not supported" from phc_ctl and returns ksft_skip
- Returns ksft_skip if all tests are skipped, preventing false-positive
  results when testing timestamp-only PHC implementations
