239f09e258 selftests: ptp: treat unsupported PHC operations as skip
Some PTP hardware clock (PHC) devices may return -EOPNOTSUPP for
operations like settime, adjtime, or adjfreq. This commonly occurs
with timestamp-only PHC implementations that don't support full clock
control.

For background, syzbot previously exposed a crash risk when PTP clock
drivers lacked required callbacks[1]. Subsequent work[2] made callback
presence a registration requirement. As a result, some drivers (like
iwlwifi MVM/MLD[3]) now provide stub callbacks that return -EOPNOTSUPP
for unsupported operations.

When phc_ctl encounters such devices, the "Operation not supported"
error should be treated as a skip (device limitation) rather than a
test failure. This patch:
- Adds [SKIP] output handling in log_test()
- Detects "Operation not supported" from phc_ctl and returns ksft_skip
- Returns ksft_skip if all tests are skipped, preventing false-positive
  results when testing timestamp-only PHC implementations

166e664e70 selftests: ptp: use KSFT_SKIP exit code for skip scenarios
The kselftest framework defines KSFT_SKIP=4 as the standard exit code
for skipped tests. However, phc.sh currently uses a mix of 'exit 0' and
'exit 1' to indicate skip conditions, which can confuse test harnesses
and CI systems.

This patch introduces ksft_skip=4 variable and unifies all skip exit
paths to use 'exit $ksft_skip', consistent with other selftests like
net/lib.sh and net/fib_nexthops.sh.

9366211f32 selftests: ptp: Add Physical Hardware Clock test
Test the PTP Physical Hardware Clock functionality using the "phc_ctl" (a
part of "linuxptp").

The test contains three sub-tests:
  * "settime" test
  * "adjtime" test
  * "adjfreq" test

"settime" test:
  * set the PHC time to 0 seconds.
  * wait for 120.5 seconds.
  * check if PHC time equal to 120.XX seconds.

"adjtime" test:
  * set the PHC time to 0 seconds.
  * adjust the time by 10 seconds.
  * check if PHC time equal to 10.XX seconds.

"adjfreq" test:
  * adjust the PHC frequency to be 1% faster.
  * set the PHC time to 0 seconds.
  * wait for 100.5 seconds.
  * check if PHC time equal to 101.XX seconds.

Usage:
  $ ./phc.sh /dev/ptp<X>

  It is possible to run a subset of the tests, for example:
    * To run only the "settime" test:
      $ TESTS="settime" ./phc.sh /dev/ptp<X>
