Subject: [PATCH 3.16 234/245] ptp: Fix pass zero to ERR_PTR() in
 ptp_clock_register

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@...wei.com>

commit aea0a897af9e44c258e8ab9296fad417f1bc063a upstream.

Fix smatch warning:

drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c:298 ptp_clock_register() warn:
 passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'

'err' should be set while device_create_with_groups and
pps_register_source fails

Fixes: 85a66e550195 ("ptp: create "pins" together with the rest of attributes")
