bcm43xx: Hide if bcm43xx-mac80211 is builtin
From: Michael Wu <flamingice@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
This prevents users from compiling bcm43xx (softmac) and bcm43xx-mac80211
into the kernel at the same time. In the case that it is attempted, make
bcm43xx (softmac) not build.
What kernel version is this targetted at? Have the mac80211 bits
reached feature parity with the softmac bits? I'm still hearing quite a
few reports of mac80211 being flaky WRT WEXT implementation and
compatibility. I don't necessarily object, I just want to make sure
that when this patch hits released kernels, that the mac80211 port is in
the same or better shape than the softmac one.
This is aimed at Linville's wireless-dev and the -mm tree where both softmac and mac80211 versions
coexist.
At the moment, mac80211 is not in as good shape as softmac, and a date for its addition to mainline
has not been set.
