Why is there a `select PHYLIB' at the platform level? Shouldn't it be in
drivers/net/Kconfig, near the appropriate network driver? That way people can
build kernels without networking support, if they want.

I agree w/you however the initial reason it was:

powerpc/ep8248e: Unconditionally select PHYLIB for mdio_bitbang

Its possible to build the phylib as a module, however this breaks  
the

board code because alloc_mdio_bitbang and mdiobus_register are not
available if we build as a module.  These are needed by the board  
code

since it implements the low level mdio bitbang ops.

So we unconditionally select PHYLIB to ensure its built into the  
kernel

if we are building in EP8248E support.

Long term we should look at moving the mdio_ops into its own file  
so it

can be built as a module.

so maybe it should:

select PHYLIB if NET

This isn't right.  Otherwise no networking driver would build
with NET_SCHED disabled.

net/sched/sch_generic.c is always built when NET is enabled
and that's where netif_carrier_off() is defined.

As you can see in net/sched/Makefile, sch_generic.o is
obj-y, did you even check? :-)
