From 326a10b90d05fd2bcf2247877d211d4064b8a0ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2020 10:57:40 +0100 Subject: wireless: remove CONFIG_WIRELESS_WDS WDS has long been superseded by 4-addr AP/client and lacks such fundamental features like encryption, capability negotiation, and similar. As such, it was basically always unusable as is. Back in 2016, in commit 8f20542386c5 ("wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default") I disabled it and made the Kconfig option only available under CONFIG_EXPERT to turn it back on. Since then, nobody has complained about that, and given the severe limitations with the code, it's unlikely anyone would have a reason to. Remove the Kconfig option now, so we can clean up the associated code in follow-up patches.
