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.

It was marked as BROKEN back in 2008. It is because the tty handling
in the driver is really broken.

There was some activity in January 2012 to fix the driver, but the
patch was commented to be bogus:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/29/160
and we have not heard back from the author since then:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/28/412

So since nobody stepped in and rewrote the driver, it is time to move
it out of line now. And drop it some time later if nobody comes up
with patches to fix the driver in staging.

The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer.

It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident,
and thus this scheme was broken when the device private
allocation strategy changed.

Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this,
update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken
tag from drivers/net/wan/Kconfig

PPP support in generic HDLC in Linux 2.6.25 is broken and will cause
a kernel panic when a device configured in PPP mode is activated.

It will be replaced by new PPP implementation after Linux 2.6.25 is
released.

This affects only PPP support in generic HDLC (mostly Hitachi SCA
and SCA-II based drivers, wanxl, and few others). Standalone syncppp
and async PPP support are not affected.

Currently WAN router drivers can be built in-kernel while the
register/unregister_wan_device interfaces are built as modules.
This causes:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_init':
cycx_main.c:(.init.text+0x5c4b): undefined reference to `register_wan_device'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_exit':
cycx_main.c:(.exit.text+0x560): undefined reference to `unregister_wan_device'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

The problem is caused by tristate -> bool conversion (y or m => y),
so convert WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS to a tristate so that the correct
dependency is preserved.

Another thing, reported recently to me by several people - DSCC4 WAN
driver now (and perhaps for the last couple of years+) requires the
generic HDLC. I've fixed the Kconfig and moved the DSCC4 option
under CONFIG_HDLC so it's consistent visually.

Sealevel uses arp_broken_ops so it needs to depend on INET.

This patch enables building of individual WAN protocol support

The in-kernel Sangoma drivers are both not compiling and marked as BROKEN
since at least kernel 2.6.0.

Sangoma offers out-of-tree drivers, and David Mandelstam told me Sangoma
does no longer maintain the in-kernel drivers and prefers to provide them
as a separate installation package.

This patch therefore removes these drivers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
