[PATCH v2 1/2] selftests: ptp: use KSFT_SKIP exit code for skip scenarios

From: Junjie Cao

Date: Mon Jan 26 2026 - 01:18:33 EST


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.
