As I already explained to you, you can *NOT* use kernel configuration

stand for platform choices dictated by kernel configuration options.

This has nothing to do with ARM as a platform.  The same limitation
applies to x86 and all the rest.

The networking stack does not support simultaneous PHY and MAC time
stamping.

If you enable both MAC and PHY time stamping, then only one will be
reported, and that one is the PHY.
