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.

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it. This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.
There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

Commit 70ac618c07 ("ptp: fixup Kconfig for two PHC drivers.") removed all
dependencies for the blackfin hardware time-stamping Kconfig entry. Hardware
time-stamping is only available on BF518 though. Since the Kconfig entry is
'default y', just updateing your kernel source and running `make defconfig` will
result in the the following build errors:
drivers/net/ethernet/adi/bfin_mac.c:694: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bfin_read_EMAC_PTP_CTL’
drivers/net/ethernet/adi/bfin_mac.c:702: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bfin_write_EMAC_PTP_FV3’
drivers/net/ethernet/adi/bfin_mac.c:712: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bfin_write_EMAC_PTP_CTL’
drivers/net/ethernet/adi/bfin_mac.c:717: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bfin_write_EMAC_PTP_FOFF’
...
This patch adds back the dependency on BF518, and since it does not make sense
to expose this config option when the blackfin MAC driver is not enabled also
restore the dependency on BFIN_MAC.

Ben Hutchings recently came up with a better way to handle the kconfig
dependencies for the PTP hardware clocks. This patch converts one new and
one older driver to the new scheme.

The BF518 has a PTP time unit that works in a similar way to other MAC
based clocks, like gianfar, ixp46x, and igb. This patch adds support for
using the blackfin as a PHC. Although the blackfin hardware does offer a
few ancillary features, this patch implements only the basic operations.
Compile tested only.

MII Kconfig option is apart of the core networking drivers and
by default NET_CORE is enabled so drivers selecting MII will
have MII enabled as well. It was found using the randconfig
option during testing, MII would be selected but NET_CORE
could be disabled. This caused a dependency error.
Resolved the dependency by selecting NET_CORE when MII is
selected.

Move the Analog Devices Inc driver into drivers/net/ethernet/adi/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
