Description: Disable drivers features which enable custom firmware building

More info: Say yes to disable driver features which enable building a custom driver firmware at kernel build time. These drivers do not use the kernel firmware API to load firmware (CONFIG_FW_LOADER), instead they use their own custom loading mechanism. The required firmware is usually shipped with the driver, building the driver firmware should only be needed if you have an updated firmware source. Firmware should not be being built as part of kernel, these days you should always prevent this and say Y here. There are only two old drivers which enable building of its firmware at kernel build time: o CONFIG_WANXL through CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE o CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX through CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE
