The warnings were originating in the Kconfig file and were essentially, asking for more information to display. A quick google search returned the patch that separated the rtl driver from 2011 into several separate drivers in order to comply with a certain IEEE standard:

The last piece of information is the wiki on standard 802.11i: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11i-2004 The article states that new protocols have been defined using the abbreviations: CCMP and TKI. So I concluded these modules help implement those new protocols. It goes on to say that these protocols amount to WPA2 support.
