When NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ_COMMON is built-in but PTP is a loadable
module, the ksz_ptp support still causes a link failure:
ld.lld-16: error: undefined symbol: ptp_clock_index
>>> referenced by ksz_ptp.c
>>> drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz_ptp.o:(ksz_get_ts_info) in archive vmlinux.a
This can happen if NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ8863_SMI is enabled, or
even if none of the KSZ9477_I2C/KSZ_SPI/KSZ8863_SMI ones are active
but only the common module is.
The most straightforward way to address this is to move the
dependency to NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ_PTP itself, which can now
only be enabled if both PTP_1588_CLOCK support is reachable
from NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ_COMMON. Alternatively, one could make
NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ_COMMON a hidden Kconfig symbol and extend the
PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL dependency to NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ8863_SMI as
well, but that is a little more fragile.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
