Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 17:18:56 +0300 From: Lauri Kasanen <cand@....com> To: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@...glemail.com> Cc: Kalle Valo <kvalo@...eaurora.org>, linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v2] 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.
