Kees Cook 49f82162ea drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

Vladimir Kondratiev 23c1d7f659 wireless: allow Atheros card to not depend on ath.ko
There are 2 different things:
- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family
- module ath.ko with common Atheros code

Until now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.
Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.

To allow module to belong to the
"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,
2 conditions above need to be separated.

So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging
to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden
variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules
that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.

Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.

Christian Lamparter 00044f17af carl9170: export HW random number generator
All AR9170 hardware have a 16-Bit random number generator.
The documentation claims the values are suitable for
"security keys".

The "throughput" is around 320Kibit/s. It's slow, but it
does work without introducing any special offload
firmware commands.

"The convention seems to be angle brackets around
URLS in Kconfig."
