| Subject: ANDROID: net: enable wireless core features with |
| GKI_LEGACY_WEXT_ALLCONFIG |
| |
| In embedded environments the requirements are to be able to pick and |
| chose which features one requires built into the kernel. If an |
| embedded environment wants to supports loading modules that have been |
| kbuilt out of tree, there is a need to enable hidden configurations |
| for legacy wireless core features to provide the API surface for |
| them to load. |
| |
| Introduce CONFIG_GKI_LEGACY_WEXT_ALLCONFIG to select all legacy wireless |
| extension core features by activating in turn all the associated |
| hidden configuration options, without having to specifically select |
| any wireless module(s). |
