Hi Russell

How much object code is this adding? All the other PHYs which support
PTP just make it part of the PHY driver, not a standalone module. That
i guess simplifies the conditions. 

Looking at DSDT, it lists

        case MAD_88E1340S:
        case MAD_88E1340:
        case MAD_88E1340M:
        case MAD_SWG65G : 
	case MAD_88E151x:

as being MAD_PHY_PTP_TAI_CAPABLE;

and

	case MAD_88E1548
        case MAD_88E1680:
        case MAD_88E1680M:

as MAD_PHY_1STEP_PTP_CAPABLE;

So maybe we can wire this up to a few more PHYs to 'lower' the
overhead a bit?

That makes the Kconfig even more complex :-(
