In drivers/net/ethernet/intel/Kconfig, we see this:

config E1000E
        tristate "Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support"
        depends on PCI && (!SPARC32 || BROKEN)
        select CRC32
        select PTP_1588_CLOCK
        ---help---

Is there a reason for the PTP_1588_CLOCK select?  That ends up
forcing the PTP and PPS stuff into the kernel as well - and I don't
use any of it.

You don't, but the driver does use it unconditionally.
