Subject: [PATCH v2] carl9170: Clarify kconfig text
Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 17:18:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160416171856.1769c0e16bcc75372407e06f@gmx.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1466768.7dLuLFSDol@debian64>
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.
Signed-off-by: Lauri Kasanen <cand@gmx.com>

v2: Remove the mention of the previous driver, suggested by Christian.
