With this hunk applied, everything looks good to me. Thanks for the fix!

It would be nice if this sort of dependency had a keyword or some other
slightly more intuitive way of handling it.

We could make run-time IS_REACHABLE checks so that the functions which
call into enable PTP support were disabled at run time in that case, I
suppose as an alternative fix to this....
