[PATCH] ptp: make PTP a menuconfig to ease disabling it all

[Vincent Legoll]

No need to get into the submenu to disable all PTP-related
config entries.

This makes it easier to disable all PTP config options
without entering the submenu. It will also enable one
to see that en/dis-abled state from the outside menu.

This is only intended to change menuconfig UI, not change
the config dependencies.

NAK, you are introducing a new config option for no good reason.

Sorry,

I don't think there are alternatives available in Kconfig to achieve
the goal of easing the management of a .config with menuconfig.

Do you have any idea about how to do it without using menuconfig ?

Thanks
