5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") left behind several
config options which no longer do anything. Remove them and fix up
documentation.
Benjamin Gilbert (3):
USB: serial: keyspan: Drop firmware Kconfig options
firmware: Drop FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL Kconfig option
firmware: Fix up docs referring to FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL
