This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

The cs89x0 driver can either be built as an ISA driver or a platform
driver, the choice is controlled by the CS89x0_PLATFORM Kconfig
symbol. Building the ISA driver on a system that does not have
a way to map I/O ports fails with this error:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `cs89x0_ioport_probe.constprop.1':
:(.init.text+0x4794): undefined reference to `ioport_map'
:(.init.text+0x4830): undefined reference to `ioport_unmap'
This changes the Kconfig logic to take that option away and
always force building the platform variant of this driver if
CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT_MAP is not set. This is the only correct
choice in this case, and it avoids the build error.

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it. This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.
There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

The CS89x0 ethernet controller is used on a number of evaluation
boards, such as the MX31ADS. The current driver has memory address and
IRQ settings for each board on which this controller is used. Driver
updates are therefore required to support other boards that also use
the CS89x0. To avoid these driver updates, a better mechanism
(platform driver support) is added to communicate the board dependent
settings to the driver.

Macintosh CS89x0 based ethernet cards use a Crystal Semiconductor (Now
Cirrus Logic) CS89x0 chip, so the mac89x0 driver should be in
drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus instead of drivers/net/ethernet/apple.
This also fixes a build problem, as the driver needs a header file from the
cirrus directory:
drivers/net/ethernet/apple/mac89x0.c:107:20: error: cs89x0.h: No such file or directory

The cs89x0 driver was initial placed in the apple/ when it
should have been placed in the cirrus/. This resolves the
issue by moving the dirver and fixing up the respective
Kconfig(s) and Makefile(s).
Thanks to Sascha for reporting the issue.
-v2 Fix a config error that was introduced with v1 by removing
the dependency on MACE for NET_VENDOR_APPLE.

MII Kconfig option is apart of the core networking drivers and
by default NET_CORE is enabled so drivers selecting MII will
have MII enabled as well. It was found using the randconfig
option during testing, MII would be selected but NET_CORE
could be disabled. This caused a dependency error.
Resolved the dependency by selecting NET_CORE when MII is
selected.

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.
This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
