Clay McClure b6d49cab44 net: Make PTP-specific drivers depend on PTP_1588_CLOCK
Commit d1cbfd771c ("ptp_clock: Allow for it to be optional") changed
all PTP-capable Ethernet drivers from `select PTP_1588_CLOCK` to `imply
PTP_1588_CLOCK`, "in order to break the hard dependency between the PTP
clock subsystem and ethernet drivers capable of being clock providers."
As a result it is possible to build PTP-capable Ethernet drivers without
the PTP subsystem by deselecting PTP_1588_CLOCK. Drivers are required to
handle the missing dependency gracefully.

Some PTP-capable Ethernet drivers (e.g., TI_CPSW) factor their PTP code
out into separate drivers (e.g., TI_CPTS_MOD). The above commit also
changed these PTP-specific drivers to `imply PTP_1588_CLOCK`, making it
possible to build them without the PTP subsystem. But as Grygorii
Strashko noted in [1]:

In my view, enabling a PTP-specific driver without the PTP subsystem is
a configuration error made possible by the above commit. Kconfig should
not allow users to create a configuration with missing dependencies that
results in "completely nonfunctional" drivers.

I audited all network drivers that call ptp_clock_register() but merely
`imply PTP_1588_CLOCK` and found five PTP-specific drivers that are
likely nonfunctional without PTP_1588_CLOCK:

    NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX_PTP
    NET_DSA_SJA1105_PTP
    MACB_USE_HWSTAMP
    CAVIUM_PTP
    TI_CPTS_MOD

Note how these symbols all reference PTP or timestamping in their name;
this is a clue that they depend on PTP_1588_CLOCK.

Change them from `imply PTP_1588_CLOCK` [2] to `depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK`.
I'm not using `select PTP_1588_CLOCK` here because PTP_1588_CLOCK has
its own dependencies, which `select` would not transitively apply.

Additionally, remove the `select NET_PTP_CLASSIFY` from CPTS_TI_MOD;
PTP_1588_CLOCK already selects that.

[2]: NET_DSA_SJA1105_PTP had never declared any type of dependency on
PTP_1588_CLOCK (`imply` or otherwise); adding a `depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK`
here seems appropriate.
