As mentioned earlier, we do need to replace the 'imply PTP_1588_CLOCK'
with the same

         depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK || !PTP_1588_CLOCK

So far I have not seen problems for the other two options, so I assume they
are fine for now -- it seems to build just fine without PCI_HYPERV_INTERFACE,
and MLXFW has no other dependencies, meaning that 'imply' is the
same as 'select' here. Using 'select MLXFW' would make it clearer perhaps.
