I think I'm missing the point here then. Do you mean adding a Kconfig
option to explicitely turn phy_link_topology on ? or build it as a
dedicated kernel module ?

Or do you see something such as "if phylib is M or Y, then build the
topology stuff and make sure it's allocated when a netdev gets created
?"

Thanks,

Maxime
