From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
The PHC is registered by ravb_open() and unregistered by ravb_close().
However, ravb_ptp_stop() leaves priv->ptp.clock pointing at the freed
clock. Since the netdev remains registered after ndo_stop, get_ts_info
can still pass the dangling pointer to ptp_clock_index(), resulting in a
use-after-free.
Clear the pointer after unregistering the clock and only query the index
while a clock is registered.
Fixes: a0d2f20650e8 ("Renesas Ethernet AVB PTP clock driver")

I don't have access to RAVB hardware to reproduce the issue. To aid
review, see the similar PHC lifetime fix merged as commit 8da13e6d63c1
("net: macb: fix use-after-free access to PTP clock").
