To be honest, at the moment I would just change the default from 'n' to 'y'
for one kernel cycle, and then remove the entire option in the next kernel
release.
This is just to make it easier to revert back if for some reasons problems
arise with the rt30xx support.
The overall goal is to get rid of all these of the RT2800PCI_yyy and RT2800USB_zzz
symbols, but that can only happen if the devices denoted by these symbols
are properly supported.

John, I leave it up to you, but for me my original patch should be merged, and
I'll send an equivalent patch for Stefan's one for the next kernel release.
