Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: mii_timestamper: fix static allocation by PHY driver

If phydev->mii_ts is set by the PHY driver, it will always be
overwritten in of_mdiobus_register_phy(). Fix it. Also make sure, that
the unregister() doesn't do anything if the mii_timestamper was provided by
the PHY driver.

Fixes: 1dca22b18421 ("net: mdio: of: Register discovered MII time stampers.")
