Neterion was standalone for several years, then acquired by Exar and
shutdown in 11 months without ever making any new Exar branded adapters.
Users would probably think of them as Neterion and not Exar (as there
have been no follow-on adapters and the vast majority ever sold were
under the Neterion name).
6c541b4595a2 ("net: ethernet: Sort Kconfig sourcing alphabetically")
sorted Kconfig sourcing based on directory names, but in a couple cases,
the menu item text is quite different from the directory name and is not
sorted correctly:
drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/Kconfig => "Exar devices"
To address that and clear up any confusion about the name, "Exar" was
changed to "Neterion (Exar)" and the relevant entries in the Makefile
and Kconfig were reordered to match the alphabetical organization.

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

Various drivers depend on INET because they used to select INET_LRO,
but they have all been converted to use GRO which has no such
dependency.

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.
This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.

Move the Exar drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/ and make the
necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
