The ioctl and sysfs handlers unconditionally call the ->enable callback.
Not all drivers implement that callback, leading to NULL dereferences.
Example of affected drivers: ptp_s390.c, ptp_vclock.c and ptp_mock.c.
Instead use a dummy callback if no better was specified by the driver.
Fixes: d94ba80ebbea ("ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.")
