The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bc
("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.
More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
7be6065b39 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
report of breakage for at least 4 years.
This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
deletion commit tied into their history.
Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

Make the wanxl firmware array const so that it goes in the read-only section.

Fix the wanxl firmware to include missing constants such as PARITY_NONE. It
should be #including the linux/hdlc/ioctl.h header.
To make this work, we also have to guard parts of ioctl.h with !__ASSEMBLY__.

The wanxl firmware needs access to some bits of UAPI stuff, so the -I flag in
the Makefile needs adjusting to point at the UAPI headers.

It was marked as BROKEN back in 2008. It is because the tty handling
in the driver is really broken.
There was some activity in January 2012 to fix the driver, but the
patch was commented to be bogus:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/29/160
and we have not heard back from the author since then:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/28/412
So since nobody stepped in and rewrote the driver, it is time to move
it out of line now. And drop it some time later if nobody comes up
with patches to fix the driver in staging.

This patch enables building of individual WAN protocol support
routines (parts of generic HDLC) as separate modules.
All protocol-private definitions are moved from hdlc.h file
to protocol drivers. User-space interface and interface
between generic HDLC and underlying low-level HDLC drivers
are unchanged.

The in-kernel Sangoma drivers are both not compiling and marked as BROKEN
since at least kernel 2.6.0.
Sangoma offers out-of-tree drivers, and David Mandelstam told me Sangoma
does no longer maintain the in-kernel drivers and prefers to provide them
as a separate installation package.
This patch therefore removes these drivers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
