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.

Subject: [PATCH] net: enable TC35815 for MIPS again
TX493[8,9] MIPS SoCs support 2 Ethernet channels of type TC35815
which are connected to the internal PCI controller.
And JMR3927 MIPS board has a TC35815 chip on board.
These dependencies were lost on movement to drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba.

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.

Move the Toshiba ethernet drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba
and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
