Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/2] net: ravb: handle unavailable PTP clock
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 17:51:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806095126.57803-2-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806095126.57803-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

The PTP clock is registered by ravb_open(), not ravb_probe(). Therefore,
priv->ptp.clock is NULL between register_netdev() and the first open, and
ethtool -T triggers a NULL dereference in ptp_clock_index().

ptp_clock_register() may also return an error pointer, which can reach
ptp_clock_index() or ptp_clock_unregister().

Normalize registration errors to NULL and only query or unregister the
clock when it is present. Leave phc_index at -1 when no PHC is registered,
while preserving the static hardware timestamping capabilities.

Fixes: a0d2f20650e8 ("Renesas Ethernet AVB PTP clock driver")
