Similar to the hamachi driver, the yellowfin driver supports hardware
that is over two decades old and no longer in active use.

Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetengines
vendor directory, we can now safely remove the entire directory and
drop its associated references from the parent Kconfig and Makefile.

This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burden
on the netdev subsystem.

The PacketEngine Hamachi driver is for PCI hardware that has been
obsolete for over two decades. It recently triggered arithmetic
exceptions during automated fuzzing.

As suggested by maintainers, remove the driver entirely to eliminate
dead code and reduce the maintenance burden.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

The vendor guard Kconfig symbols for Cadence and Packet Engines use a
"NET_" prefix, while all other vendor guards use a "NET_VENDOR_"
prefix.  Hence make them consistent with the rest, and add the missing
trailing "S" for Packet Engines while at it.

As these options don't directly affect the kernel build, and default to
"y", this change has no impact on kernels built with existing
(def)configs.

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.

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it.  This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.

There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

As part of the big network driver reorg, each vendor directory defaults to
yes, so that older config's can migrate correctly. Looks like this one
got missed.
