[PATCH net] octeontx2-af: skip absent MCS blocks in PTP configuration

From: Slavin Liu

Date: Sun Sep 13 2026 - 08:57:05 EST


A successfully probed RPM does not imply a matching MCS block.
Check the independent MCS lookup before accessing PEX registers.

Detected by static analysis and reviewed with AI-assisted source auditing.
