[PATCH phy-fixes] phy: make PHY_COMMON_PROPS Kconfig symbol conditionally user-selectable

From: Vladimir Oltean

Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 10:33:41 EST


Geert reports that enabling CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS shouldn't enable
features that aren't enabled without it. That isn't what "*all* tests"
means, but as the prompt puts it, "All KUnit tests with satisfied
dependencies".

The impact is that enabling CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS brings features which
cannot be disabled as built-in into the kernel.

Keep the pattern where consumer drivers have to "select PHY_COMMON_PROPS",
but if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS is enabled, also make PHY_COMMON_PROPS user
selectable, so it can be turned off.

Modify PHY_COMMON_PROPS_TEST to depend on PHY_COMMON_PROPS rather than
select it.
