b43: update PHY descriptions in Kconfig
Add lists of chipsets, so people can enable support for their device easier (at least after checking lspci). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The LP-PHY is a low-power PHY built into some notebooks
and embedded devices. It supports 802.11a/b/g
(802.11a support is optional, and currently disabled).

- Enables support for BCM4331 and possibly other chipsets with that PHY.
+ This PHY type with 3x3:3 MIMO can be found in the BCM4331 PCI chipset.
