NACK - [J][PATCH 1/1] UBUNTU: [Config] Deactivate CONFIG_QETH_OSX kernel config option

[Frank Heimes]

I'll upload a v2 soon that switches the option to 'n' and leaves a note.
Like this:
-CONFIG_QETH_OSX                                 policy<{'s390x': 'y'}>
+CONFIG_QETH_OSX                                 policy<{'s390x': 'n'}>
+#
+CONFIG_QETH_OSX                                 note<LP#1959890>
