I got a offline comment like This check is probably redundant (already
checked in period_store() and ptp_ioctl()). I am looking into whether
this check is required or already handled in upper layers.
If the check is required, then I feel -EINVAL/-ERANGE should be
reasonable. Because we are supporting periodic output only thing is
index is out of bound. If we return -EOPNOTSUPP, it indicates we are
not supporting periodic output.
