If dsa_switch_ops::port_txtstamp() returns false, clone will be freed
immediately. Storing the pointer in DSA_SKB_CB(skb)->clone anyway,
supports annoying use-after-free bugs.

Fixes 146d442c2357 ("net: dsa: Keep a pointer to the skb clone for TX timestamping")

Not the right format for a Fixes: tag, please try to set up your
.gitconfig to automate the creation of this tag.

In my own code. I test for DSA_SKB_CB(skb)->clone in order to determine
whether a skb has been selected for TX time stamping by
ksz9477_ptp_port_txtstamp().

I think you (or somebody else) already noted this. Sorry for postponing.
