I'm not running into the dependency issue you mention in my own testing
of the 'select PHYLIB' patch.  All of the following configurations build
for me with no issues:

			0 1 2 3 4 5
CONFIG_IXGBE		m m m m y y
CONFIG_IXGBE_IPSEC	n y n y n y
CONFIG_MDIO_BUS		m m y y y y
CONFIG_PHYLIB		m m y y y y

I also confirmed that I can't have CONFIG_MDIO_BUS=m and CONFIG_IXGBE=y.
Setting CONFIG_IXGBE=y forces CONFIG_MDIO_BUS=y.

Base config I started with is here: https://pastebin.com/yFsiRRQZ
That's the config 0 from above, the only diff to the other configs was
to set the appropriate symbol to 'y'.

I also tested against the config Dave posted (accepting fixdep defaults)
and that also worked.

What am I missing here?

Can you post the config you were using that had the dependency problem
with CONFIG_IXGBE_IPSEC?
