net: phy: microchip_t1: fix NULL pointer dereference in lan887x_phy_init()

The issue was discovered via smatch static analyzer:

  make CHECK="smatch -p=kernel"  C=2  drivers/net/phy/microchip_t1.o
    CHECK   scripts/mod/empty.c
    DESCEND objtool
    CHECK   drivers/net/phy/microchip_t1.c
  drivers/net/phy/microchip_t1.c:1295 lan887x_phy_init() warn: 'priv->clock' can also be NULL

mchp_rds_ptp_probe() returns NULL when CONFIG_MICROCHIP_PHY_RDS_PTP or
CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK is disabled. However, lan887x_phy_init() only checks
for an error pointer before using the returned clock to configure the
periodic output pin, which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.

Handle the NULL return as PTP being unavailable and skip the event pin
configuration in that case. Smatch no longer reports the NULL dereference
warning after the change.
