Not really.  Without the change to drivers/Makefile, drivers/ptp/ is not 
visited when CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=n. If you then have CONFIG_PCH_GBE=y 
you end up with:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `pch_gbe_ioctl':
pch_gbe_main.c:(.text+0x28c914): undefined reference to `pch_ch_control_write'

Hence the above paragraph.
