staging: rtl8192e: Describe each kernel config option
An important thing people want to know is what each option that they select in their kernel configuration file actually does, so that they can select the right options for their system, and, once booted, make sure their hardware works as expected. Add more details describing each option in the kernel configuration for the rtl8192e (rtllib) driver so that the end-user understands what they mean, and, if necessary, enables/disables those features if they are not required.
