Subject: [RFC 1/6] thunder: select PTP driver if possible

The 'imply' selection means the driver can still be a loadable
module even if the main driver is built-in, leading to a link
error:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/thunder/nicvf_main.o: in function `nicvf_remove':
nicvf_main.c:(.text+0x25c): undefined reference to `cavium_ptp_put'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/thunder/nicvf_main.o: in function `nicvf_probe':
nicvf_main.c:(.text+0x3080): undefined reference to `cavium_ptp_get'

Use a 'select' statement instead.
