Current we can only enable lib80211 by enable a driver
in tree use it which will select it, but some out tree's
drivers also use it, so I think it has sense to make lib80211
can be enabled independently.

A example of the out tree's drivers use lib80211 is:
hybird driver(wl) for Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n
