ethernet: fix PTP_1588_CLOCK dependencies

The 'imply' keyword does not do what most people think it does, it only
politely asks Kconfig to turn on another symbol, but does not prevent
it from being disabled manually or built as a loadable module when the
user is built-in. In the ICE driver, the latter now causes a link failure:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_eth_ioctl':
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_get_ts_config'
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_get_ts_config'
aarch64-linux-ld: ice_main.c:(.text+0x13bc): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_set_ts_config'
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13bc): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_set_ts_config'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_prepare_for_reset':
ice_main.c:(.text+0x31fc): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_release'
ice_main.c:(.text+0x31fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_release'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_rebuild':

This is a recurring problem in many drivers, and we have discussed
it several times befores, without reaching a consensus. I'm providing
a link to the previous email thread for reference, which discusses
some related problems.

To solve the dependency issue better than the 'imply' keyword, introduce a
separate Kconfig symbol "CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL" that any driver
can depend on if it is able to use PTP support when available, but works
fine without it. Whenever CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=m, those drivers are
then prevented from being built-in, the same way as with a 'depends on
PTP_1588_CLOCK || !PTP_1588_CLOCK' dependency that does the same trick,
but that can be rather confusing when you first see it.

Since this should cover the dependencies correctly, the IS_REACHABLE()
hack in the header is no longer needed now, and can be turned back
into a normal IS_ENABLED() check. Any driver that gets the dependency
wrong will now cause a link time failure rather than being unable to use
PTP support when that is in a loadable module.

However, the two recently added ptp_get_vclocks_index() and
ptp_convert_timestamp() interfaces are only called from builtin code with
ethtool and socket timestamps, so keep the current behavior by stubbing
those out completely when PTP is in a loadable module. This should be
addressed properly in a follow-up.

As Richard suggested, we may want to actually turn PTP support into a
'bool' option later on, preventing it from being a loadable module
altogether, which would be one way to solve the problem with the ethtool
interface.

Merge branch 'QED-NVMeTCP-Offload'

Shai Malin says:

====================
QED NVMeTCP Offload

Intro:
======
This is the qed part of Marvell’s NVMeTCP offload series, shared as
RFC series "NVMeTCP Offload ULP and QEDN Device Drive".
This part is a standalone series, and is not dependent on other parts
of the RFC.
The overall goal is to add qedn as the offload driver for NVMeTCP,
alongside the existing offload drivers (qedr, qedi and qedf for rdma,
iscsi and fcoe respectively).

In this series we are making the necessary changes to qed to enable this
by exposing APIs for FW/HW initializations.

The qedn series (and required changes to NVMe stack) will be sent to the
linux-nvme mailing list.
I have included more details on the upstream plan under section with the
same name below.

The Series Patches:
===================
1. qed: Add TCP_ULP FW resource layout – replacing iSCSI when common
with NVMeTCP.
2. qed: Add NVMeTCP Offload PF Level FW and HW HSI.
3. qed: Add NVMeTCP Offload Connection Level FW and HW HSI.
4. qed: Add support of HW filter block – enables redirecting NVMeTCP
traffic to the dedicated PF.
5. qed: Add NVMeTCP Offload IO Level FW and HW HSI.
6. qed: Add NVMeTCP Offload IO Level FW Initializations.
7. qed: Add IP services APIs support –VLAN, IP routing and reserving
TCP ports for the offload device.

The NVMeTCP Offload:
====================
With the goal of enabling a generic infrastructure that allows NVMe/TCP
offload devices like NICs to seamlessly plug into the NVMe-oF stack, this
patch series introduces the nvme-tcp-offload ULP host layer, which will
be a new transport type called "tcp-offload" and will serve as an
abstraction layer to work with vendor specific nvme-tcp offload drivers.

NVMeTCP offload is a full offload of the NVMeTCP protocol, this includes
both the TCP level and the NVMeTCP level.

The nvme-tcp-offload transport can co-exist with the existing tcp and
other transports. The tcp offload was designed so that stack changes are
kept to a bare minimum: only registering new transports.
All other APIs, ops etc. are identical to the regular tcp transport.
Representing the TCP offload as a new transport allows clear and manageable
differentiation between the connections which should use the offload path
and those that are not offloaded (even on the same device).

The nvme-tcp-offload layers and API compared to nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma:

Performance:
============
With this implementation on top of the Marvell qedn driver (using the
Marvell FastLinQ NIC), we were able to demonstrate the following CPU
utilization improvement:

On AMD EPYC 7402, 2.80GHz, 28 cores:
- For 16K queued read IOs, 16jobs, 4qd (50Gbps line rate):
Improved the CPU utilization from 15.1% with NVMeTCP SW to 4.7% with
NVMeTCP offload.

On Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5122 CPU, 3.60GHz, 16 cores:
- For 512K queued read IOs, 16jobs, 4qd (25Gbps line rate):
Improved the CPU utilization from 16.3% with NVMeTCP SW to 1.1% with
NVMeTCP offload.

In addition, we were able to demonstrate the following latency improvement:
- For 200K read IOPS (16 jobs, 16 qd, with fio rate limiter):
Improved the average latency from 105 usec with NVMeTCP SW to 39 usec
with NVMeTCP offload.

Improved the 99.99 tail latency from 570 usec with NVMeTCP SW to 91 usec
with NVMeTCP offload.

The end-to-end offload latency was measured from fio while running against
back end of null device.

The Marvell FastLinQ NIC HW engine:
====================================
The Marvell NIC HW engine is capable of offloading the entire TCP/IP
stack and managing up to 64K connections per PF, already implemented and
upstream use cases for this include iWARP (by the Marvell qedr driver)
and iSCSI (by the Marvell qedi driver).
In addition, the Marvell NIC HW engine offloads the NVMeTCP queue layer
and is able to manage the IO level also in case of TCP re-transmissions
and OOO events.
The HW engine enables direct data placement (including the data digest CRC
calculation and validation) and direct data transmission (including data
digest CRC calculation).

The Marvell qedn driver:
========================
The new driver will be added under "drivers/nvme/hw" and will be enabled
by the Kconfig "Marvell NVM Express over Fabrics TCP offload".
As part of the qedn init, the driver will register as a pci device driver
and will work with the Marvell fastlinQ NIC.
As part of the probe, the driver will register to the nvme_tcp_offload
(ULP) and to the qed module (qed_nvmetcp_ops) - similar to other
"qed_*_ops" which are used by the qede, qedr, qedf and qedi device
drivers.

Upstream Plan:
=============
The RFC series "NVMeTCP Offload ULP and QEDN Device Driver"
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210531225222.16992-1-smalin@marvell.com/
was designed in a modular way so that part 1 (nvme-tcp-offload) and
part 2 (qed) are independent and part 3 (qedn) depends on both parts 1+2.

- Part 1 (RFC patch 1-8): NVMeTCP Offload ULP
The nvme-tcp-offload patches, will be sent to
'linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org'.

- Part 2 (RFC patches 9-15): QED NVMeTCP Offload
The qed infrastructure, will be sent to 'netdev@vger.kernel.org'.

Once part 1 and 2 are accepted:

- Part 3 (RFC patches 16-27): QEDN NVMeTCP Offload
The qedn patches, will be sent to 'linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org'.
