Subject: [PATCH] obsolete in kernel source (B43_LEGACY_RFKILL)

Hi all!

	As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

	While the config option B43_LEGACY_RFKILL was dropped when the
driver's rfkill facility was ported to cfg80211 in [2] it is still
referenced for debug output in [1] probably we just want to get rid of
it.

	Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

	Christoph Egger
