That one is never used and should be removed.

Instead of that long relative path, just move ptp_pch.c out of
drivers/ptp and into drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe.

Then move the shared declarations out of pch_gbe.h and into a new
header file, included by both users with:

#include "ptp_pch.h"

Thanks,

Richard
