Subject[PATCH v3] carl9170: Clarify kconfig text
The previous text was confusing, leading readers to think this
driver was a duplicate, and so didn't need to be enabled.

After the removal of the older staging driver, this is the only
driver in mainline for these devices.

- This is another driver for the Atheros "otus" 802.11n USB devices.
-
- This driver provides more features than the original,
- but it needs a special firmware (carl9170-1.fw) to do that.
-
- The firmware can be downloaded from our wiki here:
- <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170>
+ This is the mainline driver for the Atheros "otus" 802.11n USB devices.

If you choose to build a module, it'll be called carl9170.
