[redhat] New configs in drivers/net/wireless

Jeremy Cline requested to merge configs/2020-08-13/drivers/net/wireless into os-build

Hi,

As part of the ongoing rebase effort, the following configuration options need to be reviewed.

As a reminder, the ARK configuration flow involves moving unreviewed configuration options from the pending directory to the ark directory. In the diff below, options are removed from the pending directory and added to the ark hierarchy. The final options that need to be ACKed are the files that are being added to the ark hierarchy.

If the value for a file that is added should be changed, please reply with a better option.

CONFIG_MT7663S:

This adds support for MT7663S 802.11ac 2x2:2 wireless devices.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.

Symbol: MT7663S [=n] Type : tristate Defined at drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7615/Kconfig:46 Prompt: MediaTek MT7663S (SDIO) support Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && WLAN_VENDOR_MEDIATEK [=y] && MAC80211 [=m] && MMC [=m] Location: -> Device Drivers -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) -> Wireless LAN (WLAN [=y]) -> MediaTek devices (WLAN_VENDOR_MEDIATEK [=y]) Selects: MT76_SDIO [=n] && MT7663_USB_SDIO_COMMON [=n]


CONFIG_RTW88_8821CE:

Select this option will enable support for 8821CE chipset

802.11ac PCIe wireless network adapter

Symbol: RTW88_8821CE [=n] Type : tristate Defined at drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/Kconfig:64 Prompt: Realtek 8821CE PCI wireless network adapter Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && WLAN_VENDOR_REALTEK [=y] && RTW88 [=m] && PCI [=y] Location: -> Device Drivers -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) -> Wireless LAN (WLAN [=y]) -> Realtek devices (WLAN_VENDOR_REALTEK [=y]) -> Realtek 802.11ac wireless chips support (RTW88 [=m]) Selects: RTW88_CORE [=m] && RTW88_PCI [=m] && RTW88_8821C [=n]


CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_MICROCHIP:

If you have a wireless card belonging to this class, say Y.

Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all the questions about these cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for your specific card in the following questions.

Symbol: WLAN_VENDOR_MICROCHIP [=y] Type : bool Defined at drivers/net/wireless/microchip/Kconfig:2 Prompt: Microchip devices Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] Location: -> Device Drivers -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) -> Wireless LAN (WLAN [=y])
