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 EMAC driver can't work without its associated PHY driver. Reflect
this in the Kconfig options by selecting it.

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 Allwinner A10 has an ethernet controller that seem to be developped
internally by them.
The exact feature set of this controller is unknown, since there is no
public documentation for this IP, and this driver is mostly the one
published by Allwinner that has been heavily cleaned up.
