Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] net: pcs: xpcs: select PHYLINK in Kconfig

This is another attempt at fixing:

>> ERROR: modpost: "phylink_mii_c22_pcs_encode_advertisement" [drivers/net/pcs/pcs_xpcs.ko] undefined!
>> ERROR: modpost: "phylink_mii_c22_pcs_decode_state" [drivers/net/pcs/pcs_xpcs.ko] undefined!

We can't mix select and depends, or that will trigger a circular dependency.
We can't use 'depends on' for PHYLINK, as the latter config is not
user-visible.
Pull-in all the dependencies via 'select'.
Note that PHYLINK already selects PHYLIB, which in turn selects MDIO_DEVICE.

v1 -> v2:
 - use 'select' instead of 'depends on' (Jakub)
