Subject: [PATCH 3.11 071/144] sfc: check for NULL efx->ptp_data in efx_ptp_event

3.11.10.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Edward Cree <ecree@...arflare.com>

commit 8f355e5cee63c2c0c145d8206c4245d0189f47ff upstream.

If we receive a PTP event from the NIC when we haven't set up PTP state
in the driver, we attempt to read through a NULL pointer efx->ptp_data,
triggering a panic.
