    wanrouter: completely decouple obsolete code from kernel. · a786a7c0
    Paul Gortmaker 提交于
    The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
    with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2
    ("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.
    
    More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
    fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
    7be6065b ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
    netdev->priv").  So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
    used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
    report of breakage for at least 4 years.
    
    This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
    after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
    files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
    deletion commit tied into their history.
    
    Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
    drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.
