The new ability added to the driver to use mii_bus to handle MII related ioctls is causing compile issues when the driver is compiled into the kernel (i.e. not a module). The problem was in selecting MDIO_DEVICE instead of the preferred PHYLIB Kconfig option. The reason being that MDIO_DEVICE had a dependency on PHYLIB and would be compiled as a module when PHYLIB was a module, no matter whether ixgbe was compiled into the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
