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.

config MLX4_EN
tristate "Mellanox Technologies 1/10/40Gbit Ethernet support"
depends on MAY_USE_DEVLINK
depends on PCI
select MLX4_CORE
imply PTP_1588_CLOCK
---help---
This driver supports Mellanox Technologies ConnectX Ethernet
devices.
config MLX4_EN_DCB
bool "Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support"
default y
depends on MLX4_EN && DCB
---help---
Say Y here if you want to use Data Center Bridging (DCB) in the
driver.
If set to N, will not be able to configure QoS and ratelimit attributes.
This flag is depended on the kernel's DCB support.
If unsure, set to Y
config MLX4_CORE
tristate
depends on PCI
default n
config MLX4_DEBUG
bool "Verbose debugging output" if (MLX4_CORE && EXPERT)
depends on MLX4_CORE
default y
---help---
This option causes debugging code to be compiled into the
mlx4_core driver. The output can be turned on via the
debug_level module parameter (which can also be set after
the driver is loaded through sysfs).
