+ help + Uses the Rust version driver for Asix PHYs.You need more text here please. Provide a better description of what hardware is supported and the name of the module if it is built aas a module. Also that if you select this one, the C driver will not be built (which is not expressed in the Kconfig language, why not?Because the way to load a PHY driver module can't handle multiple modules with the same phy id (a NIC driver loads a PHY driver module). There is no machinism to specify which PHY driver module should be loaded when multiple PHY modules have the same phy id (as far as I know).Sorry, I know that, I mean I am pretty sure you can express this "one or the other" type of restriction in Kconfig, no need to encode it in the Makefile logic. Try doing "depens on AX88796B_PHY=n" as the dependency for the rust driver.
You meant the following? config AX88796B_PHY tristate "Asix PHYs" help Currently supports the Asix Electronics PHY found in the X-Surf 100 AX88796B package. config AX88796B_RUST_PHY bool "Rust reference driver" depends on RUST && AX88796B_PHY default n help Uses the Rust version driver for Asix PHYs. The problem is that there are NIC drivers that `select AX88796B_PHY`. the Kconfig language doesn't support something like `select AX88796B_PHY or AX88796B_RUST_PHY`, I guess.
