ptp: dynamic allocation of PHC char devices
As network adapters supporting PTP are becoming more common, machines with
many NICs suddenly have many PHCs, too. The current limit of eight /dev/ptp*
char devices (and thus, 8 network interfaces with PHC) is insufficient. Let
the ptp driver allocate the char devices dynamically.
Tested with 28 PHCs, removing and re-adding some of them.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings for advice leading to simpler and cleaner patch.
