In case of error, the function ptp_clock_register() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should
be replaced with IS_ERR().

Although the current code is obviously wrong not to set rc, it was not
clear that ptp_clock_register() returns an ERR_PTR rather than NULL on
error.  Please could you add that fact to its kernel-doc comment?

Ben.
