isdn/gigaset: remove EXPERIMENTAL tag from GIGASET_CAPI
The CAPI variant of the Gigaset drivers can, in combination with capidrv, now fully replace the legacy ISDN4Linux variant. All reported problems have been fixed. So remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from the Kconfig option selecting it, and adapt the documentation accordingly to encourage users to switch to it. Impact: documentation/status update, no functional change Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
