I can understand the GPIO being optional, it is only needed when PTP is being used. But i don't see a test anywhere that when PTP is being used the GPIO is provided. What actually happens if it is missing and somebody tries to use the PTP? Maybe only register the PTP parts with the core if the GPIO has been found in DT?
