Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211/nl80211: remove usage of CONFIG_NL80211

From: Reinette Chatre <[email protected]>

The scan capability added to cfg80211/nl80211 introduced a
dependency on nl80211 by cfg80211. We can thus no longer have
just cfg80211 without nl80211. Specifically, cfg80211_scan_done()
calls nl80211_send_scan_aborted() or nl80211_send_scan_done().

Now we remove the option for user to select nl80211. It will always
be compiled if user selects cfg80211.

v2: neglected to notice the #else used in nl80211.h. Remove
inlines previously used when compiling without nl80211.

I agree, it's quite pointless to make this configurable, and we keep
breaking it like in this case.

This doesn't seem quite right though, there's an #else with inlines in
the file which we need to remove entirely.
