The option was enabled in the past but it has been removed a few months ago by
the following commit:

commit 64bd0821a3b66c3307d7a4ee5523e3e35ec2df0e

    wireless: Default to 'n' for 2 new added devices in Kconfig.

    We make oldconfig every time when a new kernel arrives, but
    if we don't have such a device(I guess this is the most common
    case for a new device), the default value should be 'n' so
    that the kernel size we build doesn't grow up too much quickly.
    For anyone who has the device, it is OK for them to turn it on
    by themselves.

In my opinion it should not be added again.
