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WDS has long been superseded by 4-addr AP/client and lacks such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 8f20542386
("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.

This option enables the deprecated WDS support, the newer

mac80211-based 4-addr AP/client support supersedes it with
|
||||
a much better feature set (HT, VHT, ...)
|

|
||||
We plan to remove this option and code, so if you find
|
||||
that you have to enable it, please let us know on the
|
||||
linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org mailing list, so we can
|
||||
help you migrate to 4-addr AP/client (or, if it's really
|
||||
necessary, give up on our plan of removing it).
