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.

The above paragraph looks like a leftover of the previous patch set.

Not really.  Without the change to drivers/Makefile, drivers/ptp/ is not 
visited when CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=n. If you then have CONFIG_PCH_GBE=y 
you end up with:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `pch_gbe_ioctl':
pch_gbe_main.c:(.text+0x28c914): undefined reference to `pch_ch_control_write'

Hence the above paragraph.

Indeed. I misread that.

Thanks,
