[PATCH net-next] ptp: Remove 'default y' for VMCLOCK PTP device

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

The VMCLOCK device gives support for accurate timekeeping even across 
live migration, unlike the KVM PTP clock. To help ensure that users can
always use ptp_vmclock where it's available in preference to ptp_kvm,
set it to 'default PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK' instead of 'default y'.

 	  This driver adds support for using a virtual precision clock
 	  advertised by the hypervisor. This clock is only useful in virtual
 	  machines where such a device is present.
 
+	  Unlike the KVM virtual PTP clock, the VMCLOCK device offers support
+	  for reliable timekeeping even across live migration. So this driver
+	  is enabled by default whenever the KVM PTP clock is.
+
 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
 	  will be called ptp_vmclock.
