Vladimir Kondratiev 23c1d7f659 wireless: allow Atheros card to not depend on ath.ko
There are 2 different things:
- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family
- module ath.ko with common Atheros code

Until now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.
Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.

To allow module to belong to the
"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,
2 conditions above need to be separated.

So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging
to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden
variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules
that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.

Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.

---help---
This module adds support for wireless adapters based on
Atheros 5xxx chipset.
Currently the following chip versions are supported:
MAC: AR5211 AR5212
PHY: RF5111/2111 RF5112/2112 RF5413/2413
This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath5k. Say M if
unsure.
config ATH5K_DEBUG
bool "Atheros 5xxx debugging"
depends on ATH5K
---help---
Atheros 5xxx debugging messages.
Say Y, if and you will get debug options for ath5k.
To use this, you need to mount debugfs:
mount -t debugfs debug /sys/kernel/debug
You will get access to files under:
/sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/
To enable debug, pass the debug level to the debug module
parameter. For example:
modprobe ath5k debug=0x00000400
config ATH5K_TRACER
bool "Atheros 5xxx tracer"
depends on ATH5K
depends on EVENT_TRACING
---help---
Say Y here to enable tracepoints for the ath5k driver
using the kernel tracing infrastructure. Select this
option if you are interested in debugging the driver.
If unsure, say N.
config ATH5K_AHB
bool "Atheros 5xxx AHB bus support"
depends on (ATHEROS_AR231X && !PCI)
---help---
This adds support for WiSoC type chipsets of the 5xxx Atheros
family.
config ATH5K_PCI
bool "Atheros 5xxx PCI bus support"
depends on (!ATHEROS_AR231X && PCI)
---help---
This adds support for PCI type chipsets of the 5xxx Atheros
family.
config ATH5K_TEST_CHANNELS
bool "Enables testing channels on ath5k"
depends on ATH5K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
---help---
This enables non-standard IEEE 802.11 channels on ath5k, which
can be used for research purposes. This option should be disabled
unless doing research.
