The symbolic dependency by driver mlx5e, automatically triggers loading of pci_hyperv_interface module. And this module can be loaded in any platforms. Currently, mlx5e driver has #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PCI_HYPERV_INTERFACE) around the code using the interface. I agree -- Adding "select PCI_HYPERV_INTERFACE" for mlx5e will clean up these #if's.
