It is possible 0-day might complain about the earlier patches, the
build failing because PHYLINK is not selected. You might need this
change in an earlier patch?
dependency is introduced.
PHYLINK selects PHYLIB so only PHYLIB is needed. Fixed in v5.
+ select AX88796B_PHY
select CRC32
select PHYLIB
I don't remember the logic, but it could be PHYLINK selects PHYLIB, so
you can remove it here.
