We are talking about Linksys WUSB54GC-EU and its v1/v2/v3 . I am just thinking that if it is for informative purposes (for those who actually selectively build their kernel modules), adding a bit more info, such as suggesting to use rt73usb/rt2070/rt3070 modules, won't hurt. Incidentally I like to know a bit more about this patch - presumably Marcin has such a device? I am also a little curious, as this commit should be accompanied by a corresponding update in another Kconfig which supports the device? I am not trying to be picky, but for an informative (non-code-changing) patch, it can be more informative.
