Commit d1cbfd771ce8 ("ptp_clock: Allow for it to be optional") changed
all PTP-capable Ethernet drivers from `select PTP_1588_CLOCK` to `imply
PTP_1588_CLOCK`, "in order to break the hard dependency between the PTP
clock subsystem and ethernet drivers capable of being clock providers."
As a result it is possible to build PTP-capable Ethernet drivers without
the PTP subsystem by deselecting PTP_1588_CLOCK. Drivers are required to
handle the missing dependency gracefully.

Some PTP-capable Ethernet drivers (e.g., TI_CPSW) factor their PTP code
out into separate drivers (e.g., TI_CPTS_MOD). The above commit also
changed these PTP-specific drivers to `imply PTP_1588_CLOCK`, making it
possible to build them without the PTP subsystem. But as Grygorii
Strashko noted in [1]:

In my view, enabling a PTP-specific driver without the PTP subsystem is
a configuration error made possible by the above commit. Kconfig should
not allow users to create a configuration with missing dependencies that
results in "completely nonfunctional" drivers.

I audited all network drivers that call ptp_clock_register() and found
six that look like PTP-specific drivers that are likely nonfunctional
without PTP_1588_CLOCK:

    NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX_PTP
    NET_DSA_SJA1105_PTP
    MACB_USE_HWSTAMP
    CAVIUM_PTP
    TI_CPTS_MOD
    PTP_1588_CLOCK_IXP46X

Note how they all reference PTP or timestamping in their name; this is a
clue that they depend on PTP_1588_CLOCK.

Change these drivers back [2] to `select PTP_1588_CLOCK`. Note that this
requires also selecting POSIX_TIMERS, a transitive dependency of
PTP_1588_CLOCK.

[2]: NET_DSA_SJA1105_PTP had never declared any type of dependency on
PTP_1588_CLOCK (`imply` or otherwise); adding it here seems appropriate.
