The fragment itself looks fine, but in order to turn it on for the
standard kernel, we need to have a good reason .. since it introduces
size to every one of our builds.

Let me ask a few questions. Which boards (qemu or not) have you tested
this on ?

Are you enabling the option to ensure that the standard kernel has
this built-in, in case someone wants to use the mdio-tools ?

The reason I ask the questions above, is that we also have the option
to enable this in specific machine's, or tie it to a MACHINE/DISTRO
feature to have it automatically enabled (with a similar result, but
not enforced via the -standard kernel),
