Any particular reason for enabling this? The driver does not specifically need it. The option only allows use of WEXT dependent user-space tools like iwconfig and iwlist. At least it is not needed by brcmfmac driver hence it does not select it.

You indicate there is a dependency. Could you elaborate?
