The 'imply' keyword does not do what most people think it does, it only
politely asks Kconfig to turn on another symbol, but does not prevent
it from being disabled manually or built as a loadable module when the
user is built-in. In the ICE driver, the latter now causes a link failure:
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_eth_ioctl':
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_get_ts_config'

This is a recurring problem in many drivers, and we have discussed
it several times befores, without reaching a consensus. I'm providing
a link to the previous email thread for reference, which discusses
some related problems.
To solve the dependency issue better than the 'imply' keyword, introduce a
separate Kconfig symbol "CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL" that any driver
can depend on if it is able to use PTP support when available, but works
fine without it. Whenever CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=m, those drivers are
then prevented from being built-in, the same way as with a 'depends on
PTP_1588_CLOCK || !PTP_1588_CLOCK' dependency that does the same trick,
but that can be rather confusing when you first see it.
Since this should cover the dependencies correctly, the IS_REACHABLE()
hack in the header is no longer needed now, and can be turned back
into a normal IS_ENABLED() check. Any driver that gets the dependency
wrong will now cause a link time failure rather than being unable to use
PTP support when that is in a loadable module.
However, the two recently added ptp_get_vclocks_index() and
ptp_convert_timestamp() interfaces are only called from builtin code with
ethtool and socket timestamps, so keep the current behavior by stubbing
those out completely when PTP is in a loadable module. This should be
addressed properly in a follow-up.
As Richard suggested, we may want to actually turn PTP support into a
'bool' option later on, preventing it from being a loadable module
altogether, which would be one way to solve the problem with the ethtool
interface.

When IONIC=y and PTP_1588_CLOCK=m were set in the .config file
the driver link failed with undefined references.
We add the dependancy
depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK || !PTP_1588_CLOCK
to clear this up.
If PTP_1588_CLOCK=m, the depends limits IONIC to =m (or disabled).
If PTP_1588_CLOCK is disabled, IONIC can be any of y/m/n.

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.
While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.

When no other driver selects the devlink library code, ionic
produces a link failure:
drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_devlink.o: In function `ionic_devlink_alloc':
ionic_devlink.c:(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `devlink_alloc'
drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_devlink.o: In function `ionic_devlink_register':
ionic_devlink.c:(.text+0x71): undefined reference to `devlink_register'
Add the same 'select' statement that the other drivers use here.

This patch adds a basic driver framework for the Pensando IONIC
network device. There is no functionality right now other than
the ability to load and unload.
