May clash? So how does this work in practise? Is the clash referring
CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED enabled or disabled?

I think we should only have one driver automatically supporting certain
hardware, and not have a driver randomly chosen and forcing users to use
a blacklist.

Also how do we make sure that distros don't enable
CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED? They are notarious of enabling kconfig options
without thinking.
