Today's linux-next fails to build an arm allmodconfig (and probably also at least arm64 though other errors prevent that getting to linking currently) due to:

and various other linker errors caused by the fact that the new fman driver uses PHYLIB but does not depend on or select it.
This is the patch I submitted for the problem. I don't think that simply adding the 'select' would be a good idea because that would force PHYLIB builtin for allmodconfig.

[SUBMITTED] fsl/fman: allow modular build
ARM allmodconfig fails because of the addition of the FMAN driver:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `dtsec_restart_autoneg': binder.c:(.text+0x173328): undefined reference to `mdiobus_read' binder.c:(.text+0x173348): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write' drivers/built-in.o: In function `dtsec_config': binder.c:(.text+0x173d24): undefined reference to `of_phy_find_device' drivers/built-in.o: In function `init_phy': binder.c:(.text+0x1763b0): undefined reference to `of_phy_connect' drivers/built-in.o: In function `stop': binder.c:(.text+0x176014): undefined reference to `phy_stop' drivers/built-in.o: In function `start': binder.c:(.text+0x176078): undefined reference to `phy_start'
The reason is that the driver uses PHYLIB, but that is a loadable module here, and fman itself is built-in.
This patch makes it possible to configure fman as a module as well so we don't change the status of PHYLIB in an allmodconfig kernel, and it adds a 'select PHYLIB' statement to ensure that phylib is always built-in when fman is.
The driver uses "builtin_platform_driver(fman_driver);", which means it cannot be unloaded, but it's still possible to have it as a loadable module that gets loaded once and never removed.
