It seems that two patches have collided here, the build failure
is a result of the combination. Changing the new option to 'imply'
as well fixes it.

Fixes: 111fc64a237f ("liquidio CN23XX: VF registration")
Fixes: d1cbfd771ce8 ("ptp_clock: Allow for it to be optional")

I didn't know about this new "imply" thing. This seems like a plausible fix, so...

Thanks for fixing this up.
