IIRC, this all started with tinification and wanting dynamic posix clocks to be optional at compile time. I would like to simplify this whole mess: - restore dynamic posix clocks to be always included - make PHC always included when the MAC has that feature (by saying "select" in the MAC Kconfig) -- I think this is what davem had wanted back in the day ... I'm not against tinification in principle, but I believe it is a lost cause. Thanks, Richard
