Subject: [PATCH v3] carl9170: Clarify kconfig text

The previous text was confusing, leading readers to think this
driver was a duplicate, and so didn't need to be enabled.

After the removal of the older staging driver, this is the only
driver in mainline for these devices.

-	  This is another driver for the Atheros "otus" 802.11n USB devices.
-
-	  This driver provides more features than the original,
-	  but it needs a special firmware (carl9170-1.fw) to do that.

+	  This is the mainline driver for the Atheros "otus" 802.11n USB devices.
 
 	  If you choose to build a module, it'll be called carl9170.
