As such, it was basically always unusable as is. Back in 2016, in commit 8f20542386c5 ("wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default") I disabled it and made the Kconfig option only available under CONFIG_EXPERT to turn it back on. Since then, nobody has complained about that, and given the severe limitations with the code, it's unlikely anyone would have a reason to. Remove the Kconfig option now, so we can clean up the associated code in follow-up patches.
