When trying to enable PTP on vsc8574 and vsc8572 it is not working even
if the function vsc8584_ptp_init it says that it has support for PHY
timestamping. It is not working because there is no PTP device.
So, to fix this make sure to create a PTP device also for this PHYs as
they have the same PTP IP as the other vsc PHYs.

vsc8574_probe() is also used by 8504 and 8552, is the side effect intended?

No, that side effect is not intended because I have checked the vsc8552
and vsc8504 datasheet and I couldn't find anything about timestamping.
So this is a mistake.
My first thought was to use vsc8514_probe for these devices but this
will introduce another side effect as the statistics will be different.
So, I will need to create another probe function for these 2 devices.
