The depends on is pushed to the interface selection... i think that would be
better as it be collated accordingly.

Yeah a better one..will take it...

short description for the flags fails in checkpatch.pl and hence the text..

Yes, that being the reason, and for the driver to work, there should be any one the 
interfaces to be enabled by default.

Yes, this needs to be updated, i think that shall be a separate patch...
