Ah, ok, things clicked into place now that you said 'module'.
So basically, your patch is the standard Kconfig incantation for 'if the
ocelot switch lib is built as module, build the tagger as module too',
plus some extra handling to allow NET_DSA_TAG_OCELOT_8021Q to still be y
or m when COMPILE_TEST is enabled, but it will be compiled in a
reduced-functionality mode, without MSCC_OCELOT_SWITCH_LIB, therefore
without PTP.

Do I get things right? Sorry, Kconfig is a very strange language.
