There should be Kconfig in addition to this, e.g.
config MAXLINEAR_GPHY
tristate "Maxlinear Ethernet PHYs"
select POLYNOMIAL if HWMON
depends on HWMON || HWMON=n
help
Support for the Maxlinear GPY115, GPY211, GPY212, GPY215,
GPY241, GPY245 PHYs.
So its forced to being built in, or not built at all.
