This is the patch I submitted for the problem. I don't think that simply
adding the 'select' would be a good idea because that would force PHYLIB
builtin for allmodconfig.

    [SUBMITTED] fsl/fman: allow modular build
    
    ARM allmodconfig fails because of the addition of the FMAN driver:
    
    drivers/built-in.o: In function `dtsec_restart_autoneg':
    binder.c:(.text+0x173328): undefined reference to `mdiobus_read'
    binder.c:(.text+0x173348): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write'
    drivers/built-in.o: In function `dtsec_config':
    binder.c:(.text+0x173d24): undefined reference to `of_phy_find_device'
    drivers/built-in.o: In function `init_phy':
    binder.c:(.text+0x1763b0): undefined reference to `of_phy_connect'
    drivers/built-in.o: In function `stop':
    binder.c:(.text+0x176014): undefined reference to `phy_stop'
    drivers/built-in.o: In function `start':
    binder.c:(.text+0x176078): undefined reference to `phy_start'
    
    The reason is that the driver uses PHYLIB, but that is a loadable
    module here, and fman itself is built-in.
    
    This patch makes it possible to configure fman as a module as well
    so we don't change the status of PHYLIB in an allmodconfig kernel,
    and it adds a 'select PHYLIB' statement to ensure that phylib is
    always built-in when fman is.
    
    The driver uses "builtin_platform_driver(fman_driver);", which means
    it cannot be unloaded, but it's still possible to have it as a loadable
    module that gets loaded once and never removed.
