I presume the dependency is because select doesn't obey
dependencies, but you only select PHYPTP if NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING.
Maybe it's possible to create a intermediate meta-symbol which is
NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING && PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL
and use that in the select.. if ... clause?

nit: tabs vs spaces

This Kconfig is likely unsafe.
You have to make sure PHYPTP is not a module when T1_PHY is built in.
