sys: Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line sh pattern

Remove /^\s*#[#!]?\s*\$FreeBSD\$.*$\n/


# 895992bb 24-Sep-2020 Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org>

retire cp(4) driver

Sync serial (e.g. T1/T1/G.703) interfaces are obsolete, this driver
includes obfuscated source, and has reported potential security issues.

# 76f67518 02-Feb-2020 Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org>

retire ce(4) driver

Sync serial (e.g. T1/T1/G.703) interfaces are obsolete, this driver
includes obfuscated source, and has reported potential security issues.

# 2733d8c9 20-Mar-2020 Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org>

retire cx,ctau drivers

The devices supported by these drivers are obsolete ISA cards, and the
sync serial protocols they supported are essentially obsolete too.

Remove adv(4) and adw(4)

Remove the advanssy drivers (both adv and adw). They were tagged as
gone in 12 a while qgo. The nycbug dmesg database shows this was last
seen in 6 and there were only a few adv sightings then (none for adw).

Relnotes: yes


# 42e23e99 21-Oct-2018 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Remove stray fatm reference.

rtwn(4), urtwn(4): merge common code, add support for 11ac devices.

All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.

Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw

Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

# cbe49cc4 08-Aug-2015 Rui Paulo <rpaulo@FreeBSD.org>

Add nodevice iwmfw to WITHOUT_SOURCELESS_UCODE.


# e9d2602a 29-Dec-2014 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

The sn driver doesn't actually include microcode at the current time,
although it may in the future. Or not since the ositech cards that
might need it have become perhaps too rare to support.


# 31d98677 29-Jul-2013 Rui Paulo <rpaulo@FreeBSD.org>

Import OpenBSD's rsu(4) WLAN driver.
Support chipsets are the Realtek RTL8188SU, RTL8191SU, and RTL8192SU.

Many thanks to Idwer Vollering for porting/writing the man page and for
testing.

# 6a443d53 12-Feb-2012 Robert Millan <rmh@FreeBSD.org>

Move WITHOUT_SOURCELESS_* files to sys/conf/ in order to avoid "universe"
target processing them as if they were standalone kernel config files.
