FYI, if anyone's using backports with a copy-list file that restricts
the wifi drivers to their own, and is working against a recent tree
that includes the drivers/net/wireless/realtek/ move, then CONFIG_WLAN
will end up getting disabled.
To fix that for now modify your copy-list to include
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile (and that file only).
Once Kconfig changes go in and the Makefile statement
obj-$(CONFIG_WLAN) += realtek/
changes to
obj-$(CONFIG_WLAN_REALTEK) += realtek/
(or similar) this issue will go away.

Thanks. It worked for me. As Kalle intends to move more drivers into
vendor subfolder, can we expect this will happen again. Can we fix up
kconfig handling for this?

I asked Kalle and he's planning to also add per-vendor Kconfig, at
which point this will not be needed any more. Like ethernet has,
really.
