The mv88e6xxx is a DSA driver, and it implements DSA style time
stamping of PTP frames. It has no need of the expensive option to

Ah, I must have thought I needed skb_defer_rx_timestamp in mv88e6xxx,
but instead DSA gained its own timestamp path so mv88e6xxx turned out
to not need that at all, and I never went back and dropped the Kconfig
dependency. Whoops. Yup, I don't think we don't need it here.
