Nicolas Pitre d1cbfd771c ptp_clock: Allow for it to be optional
In order to break the hard dependency between the PTP clock subsystem and
ethernet drivers capable of being clock providers, this patch provides
simple PTP stub functions to allow linkage of those drivers into the
kernel even when the PTP subsystem is configured out. Drivers must be
ready to accept NULL from ptp_clock_register() in that case.

And to make it possible for PTP to be configured out, the select statement
in those driver's Kconfig menu entries is converted to the new "imply"
statement. This way the PTP subsystem may have Kconfig dependencies of
its own, such as POSIX_TIMERS, without having to make those ethernet
drivers unavailable if POSIX timers are cconfigured out. And when support
for POSIX timers is selected again then the default config option for PTP
clock support will automatically be adjusted accordingly.

The pch_gbe driver is a bit special as it relies on extra code in
drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c. Therefore we let the make process descend into
drivers/ptp/ even if PTP_1588_CLOCK is unselected.

---help---
This driver supports 10/40-gigabit Ethernet cards based on
the Solarflare SFC4000, SFC9000-family and SFC9100-family
controllers.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called sfc.
config SFC_MTD
bool "Solarflare SFC4000/SFC9000/SFC9100-family MTD support"
depends on SFC && MTD && !(SFC=y && MTD=m)
default y
---help---
This exposes the on-board flash and/or EEPROM as MTD devices
(e.g. /dev/mtd1). This is required to update the firmware or
the boot configuration under Linux.
config SFC_MCDI_MON
bool "Solarflare SFC9000/SFC9100-family hwmon support"
depends on SFC && HWMON && !(SFC=y && HWMON=m)
default y
---help---
This exposes the on-board firmware-managed sensors as a
hardware monitor device.
config SFC_SRIOV
bool "Solarflare SFC9000-family SR-IOV support"
depends on SFC && PCI_IOV
default y
---help---
This enables support for the SFC9000 I/O Virtualization
features, allowing accelerated network performance in
virtualized environments.
config SFC_MCDI_LOGGING
bool "Solarflare SFC9000/SFC9100-family MCDI logging support"
depends on SFC
default y
---help---
This enables support for tracing of MCDI (Management-Controller-to-
Driver-Interface) commands and responses, allowing debugging of
driver/firmware interaction. The tracing is actually enabled by
a sysfs file 'mcdi_logging' under the PCI device.
