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.
