I assume you'll also ifdef-protect the phy calls in the platform code?

I'd rather avoid adding another case where the kernel needs to know what 
modules are being built, though, especially if the result of changing 
the .config and building modules is a mysterious runtime failure (due to 
a missing platform fixup) rather than compile- or insertion-time.
