Linus Walleij 2d74412dfd net: ethernet: xscale: Check for PTP support properly 
[ Upstream commit 594163ea88 ]

In ixp4xx_get_ts_info() ixp46x_ptp_find() is called
unconditionally despite this feature only existing on
ixp46x, leading to the following splat from tcpdump:

root@OpenWrt:~# tcpdump -vv -X -i eth0
(...)
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
  00000238 when read
(...)
Call trace:
 ptp_clock_index from ixp46x_ptp_find+0x1c/0x38

 sys_ioctl from ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x44
 (...)
Segmentation fault

Check for ixp46x in ixp46x_ptp_find() before trying to set up
PTP to avoid this.

To avoid altering the returned error code from ixp4xx_hwtstamp_set()
which before this patch was -EOPNOTSUPP, we return -EOPNOTSUPP
from ixp4xx_hwtstamp_set() if ixp46x_ptp_find() fails no matter
the error code. The helper function ixp46x_ptp_find() helper
returns -ENODEV.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
