Ben Hutchings a24006ed12 ptp: Enable clock drivers along with associated net/PHY drivers
Where a PTP clock driver is associated with a net or PHY driver, it
should be enabled automatically whenever that driver is enabled.
Therefore:

- Make PTP clock drivers select rather than depending on PTP_1588_CLOCK
- Remove separate boolean options for PTP clock drivers that are built
  as part of net driver modules.  (This also fixes cases where the PTP
  subsystem is wrongly forced to be built-in.)
- Set 'default y' for PTP clock drivers that depend on specific net
  drivers but are built separately

help
The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely
synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The
standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can
be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen
microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware
time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve
synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds.
This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character
devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should
also enable at least one clock driver as well.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_GIANFAR
tristate "Freescale eTSEC as PTP clock"
depends on GIANFAR
select PTP_1588_CLOCK
default y
help
This driver adds support for using the eTSEC as a PTP
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called gianfar_ptp.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_IXP46X
tristate "Intel IXP46x as PTP clock"
depends on IXP4XX_ETH
select PTP_1588_CLOCK
default y
help
This driver adds support for using the IXP46X as a PTP
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp_ixp46x.

config DP83640_PHY
tristate "Driver for the National Semiconductor DP83640 PHYTER"
depends on NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING

select PTP_1588_CLOCK
---help---
Supports the DP83640 PHYTER with IEEE 1588 features.
This driver adds support for using the DP83640 as a PTP
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
In order for this to work, your MAC driver must also
implement the skb_tx_timestamp() function.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH
tristate "Intel PCH EG20T as PTP clock"
depends on PCH_GBE
select PTP_1588_CLOCK
default y
help
This driver adds support for using the PCH EG20T as a PTP
clock. The hardware supports time stamping of PTP packets
when using the end-to-end delay (E2E) mechansim. The peer
delay mechansim (P2P) is not supported.
This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are getting
hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets using the
SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp_pch.
