I think, it's not the first time such question triggered, I've found [1]

I've managed to find 6 drivers which uses IS_ERR_OR_NULL check with ptp_clock_register() and, kinda,
assume to be able to work with !CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK. List below with some comments:

hv
hv_util.c
hv_timesync_init, line 697:  hv_ptp_clock = ptp_clock_register(&ptp_hyperv_info, NULL);

net/ethernet
sja1105 (depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK, use IS_ERR())
sja1105_ptp.c
sja1105_ptp_clock_register, line 867:  ptp_data->clock = ptp_clock_register(&ptp_data->caps, ds->dev);

net/ethernet
chelsio (can be fixed by adding !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK))
cxgb4
cxgb4_ptp.c
cxgb4_ptp_init, line 431:  adapter->ptp_clock = ptp_clock_register(&adapter->ptp_clock_info,

net/ethernet
octeontx2 (can be fixed by adding !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK))
nic
otx2_ptp.c
otx2_ptp_init, line 170:  ptp_ptr->ptp_clock = ptp_clock_register(&ptp_ptr->ptp_info, pfvf->dev);

net/ethernet
renesas (no checks - will crash if init failed or !PTP), uses imply PTP_1588_CLOCK
ravb_ptp.c
ravb_ptp_init, line 345:  priv->ptp.clock = ptp_clock_register(&priv->ptp.info, &pdev->dev);

net/phy
mscc  (no checks - will crash if init failed or !PTP, depends on NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING)
mscc_ptp.c
__vsc8584_init_ptp, line 1495:  vsc8531->ptp->ptp_clock = ptp_clock_register(&vsc8531->ptp->caps,

In general, if above updated, the return value for ptp_clock_register() can be changed to ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP)
for the !CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK and so question resolved.

For hv/sja1105/cxgb4/octeontx2 below diff should solve the case, but I'm not sure about
renesas/ravb_ptp and net/phy/mscc.

For renesas/ravb_ptp - seems strict "depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK" can be the choice
For net/phy/mscc - seems code dependencies need to be changed from CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING to
CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK.
