wifi: remove obsolete hostap driver
HostAP is an ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver supporting only wireless extensions, and some custom ioctls (already removed). Some devices include a legacy PCI bridge but no DMA. The driver was marked obsolete in 2016 and is highly unlikely to still have any users. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@kernel.org>

- Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
- Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
- Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
- access point.
-
- See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
- Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
- information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
- support.
-
- This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
- different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
- PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
-
- The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
- hostap.

- help
- Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
- download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
- volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
- support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
- DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
-
- Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
- It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.

- Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
- permanently.
