[PATCH net-next v14 12/14] ax88179_178a: Update driver name and information
From: Birger Koblitz
Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 23:37:18 EST
Add additionally supported devices to Kconfig description, add
further requirements such as PHYLINK.
Update driver name in usb_driver and update MODULE_DESCRIPTION
to include the additionally supported chips.
Change Kconfig symbol name from USB_NET_AX88179_178A to USB_NET_AX88179
and update loongson32_defconfig/loongson64_defconfig to use that
symbol.
