[PATCH v5 00/33] wireless: kconfig updates

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

This is revision number 5 on the wireless kconfig updates, I apologize
for the spam but I had to rebase based on reviews on some earlier
patches. In this series I've removed the .ko references for modules
both in the commit logs and in the kconfig entries, I've also
made the changes pointed out in the TI kconfig, and left the comments
on the mac80211 and cfg80211 kconfig simpler based on johill's feedback.

I left out the patch that selects cfg80211 when you select mac80211
as there is an issue there that is still under review (building cfg80211
and mac80211 built-in but rfkill as a module).

Luis R. Rodriguez (33):

[PATCH v5 02/33] wireless: group intel wireless drivers on kconfig

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

This moves intel wireless drivers into their own menu.
Intel drivers are plenty and so are their driver options so we
give them its own menuconfig.

[PATCH v5 10/33] wireless: group Broadcom drivers on kconfig

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

This moves Broadcom wireless drivers into their own menu.
There are only 2 Broadcom specific drivers so we group
them into a menu which can expand. Although rndis_wlan
also supports Broadcom devices, RNDIS is a spec and other
vendors could technically implement solutions with it
as well so we keep that separate as users most likely
won't look for those devices under a Broadcom tag.

[PATCH v5 18/33] wireless: move mac80211_hwsim to top level wireless driver menu

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

mac80211_hwsim is not a device driver for real hardware it is a
driver we can use to simulate a real device for testing mac80211.
Move it to the top wireless driver menu by removing its dependency
on WLAN_80211.

While at it move it outside of the WLAN_80211 section as we'll
be touching all those later.

[PATCH v5 23/33] wireless: downgrade TI driver from menuconfig to config

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

There's only a few options here so let this expand upon
selection. To give it the same effect of a menuconfig
though we ifdef the options based on the base config
menu selection. Because of this new check we can simplify
the kconfig entries to not depend on WL12XX anymore as that
is now implied.

PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54 provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
out there please let us know!

+What:	PRISM54
+When:	2.6.34
+
+Why:	prism54 FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices used to be supported only by the
+	prism54 wireless driver. After Intersil stopped selling these
+	devices in preference for the newer more flexible SoftMAC devices
+	a SoftMAC device driver was required and prism54 did not support
+	them. The p54 driver now exists and has been present in the kernel for
+	a while. This driver supports both SoftMAC devices and FullMAC devices.
+	The main difference between these devices was the amount of memory which
+	could be used for the firmware. The SoftMAC devices support a smaller
+	amount of memory. Because of this the SoftMAC firmware fits into FullMAC
+	devices's memory. p54 supports not only PCI / Cardbus but also USB
+	and SPI. Since p54 supports all devices prism54 supports
+	you will have a conflict. I'm not quite sure how distributions are
+	handling this conflict right now. prism54 was kept around due to
+	claims users may experience issues when using the SoftMAC driver.
+	Time has passed users have not reported issues. If you use prism54
+	and for whatever reason you cannot use p54 please let us know!

Change it to a menuconfig to give it some documentation, to
refer users to our wireless wiki for extra resources and

I'm sorry, I know you've put some effort into this.  A lot of it seems
fine, even welcome.  But I don't really see the point of grouping
everything by manufacturer -- it just seems to add an extra level of
organization for no particular reason...?

Well at first I didn't really intend to group them by manufacturer really,
I just tried to get rid of clutter and wanted to group related drivers
together to make it easier to find for users. After a few iterations the
manufacturer grouping just happened naturally, and later it also just seemed
natural to remove the typical postfix "wireless device support" or the like.

I welcome others to try to clean the stuff up some more in a different
way but I think you may end up with something very similar.

Can we just drop the "INTEL_80211" and the like, keeping the comments
and basic organization in the Kconfig files as you have them?

Well so to group all of Intel stuff we do need this, at least I can't
think of a way to do it. If we don't want to group intel stuff then we
can remove it. Is there a downside to this grouping, for example?

Is there an upside to it?  Putting them side-by-side in Kconfig
is fine, but do people really want to (de-)select Intel drivers as
a group?

Well sure if you don't want to see any intel driver on that section,
and there are plenlty of Intel wireless drivers.

Well I do, for instance, just as I expect Intel folks may want to just
disable Atheros drivers when developing, and just as I expect Broadcom
developers to just care about Broadcom drivers, and the same goes for
Ralink.

Intel clutter on the main driver kconfig was really my main motivation
to start this. I understand if you don't see much point to it though.

One (admittedly hand-wavy) argument against vendor grouping is that you
don't always know who made the chip.  So you have CompanyA buying CompanyB's
IP, making a product, and then we write a driver for CompanyA's device
called awifi2000.  Meanwhile CompanyB sells it to CompanyC too so their
"C Wifi Plus" product happens to work with the awifi2000 driver.  Now you
have to reorg the menus to put it under CompanyB.

I imagine this is a lot less likely with wireless, if you know enough to
write a driver, you usually know who made it.  But ISTR it happened a lot
with v4l stuff since there are more commodity parts on those cards.

Right, good point. This happend with Intersil stuff, which was bought by
Globespan Virata, who then quickly sold it to Conexant, and then Conexant
seems to have sold off some stuff to STEricson. What I did in this case
was just label this as:

 "Intersil / Conexant / STEricsson"

Now granted Globespan also was part of this tree but I'm not aware of them
doing anything with the IP except selling it.

I expect developers, distribution developers, and users to configure the
kernel. So I already do expect at least some familiarity with your hardware
and configuring your kernel. "IP" tends to get rebranded on products, the
old "prism" named seemed to vanish in later products, for example, but as
you indicated we kept the tradition in the old prism54 driver name and
labelled the Conexant based devices as p54.

I can't think of any other way to group this stuff to help developers,
distributions and users than by grouping by manufacturer. Novice users
could just boot a distro kernel and run 'make localmodconfig' [1] and
find out what they really had, so I see the group'ing part more of a
logical aid for those maintaining the drivers and the tree.

But again, just my take on it.
