This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.
Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

Several of the drivers still were defining their own copies of various
macros. These are all moved into the core.

These changes convert both rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu to use the new routine.
Some additional definitions are needed in the core, thus several of the
headers for other drivers are affected, but no other executable code is
changed.

Each of the drivers contains a routine that initializes the dm_digtable
member of the driver's private area. As a first step toward reducing the
size of the drivers, a copy of this driver is created in rtlwifi, and the
definitions of the parameters are moved there.

The existing method for loading both normal and WOWLAN firmware for the
device duplicates a lot of code. This solution is much cleaner.

The recent changes in checking for Bluetooth status added some callbacks to code
in rtlwifi. To make certain that all callbacks are defined, a dummy routine has been
added to rtlwifi, and the drivers that need to use it are modified.

A locking problem was found in routine _rtl92ee_cmd_send_packet() that led
to system freezes. Upon inspection, several drivers had the same problem;
however, the routines all used the same code. The common code has been
moved into rtlwifi.

Future patches will move the drivers for RTL8192EE and RTL8821AE
from staging to the regular wireless tree. Here, the necessary features
are added to the PCI driver. Other files are touched due to changes
in the various data structs.

This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads.
The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632,
which reports a udev timeout on boot.
The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/
linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a
suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu.
The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2)
concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded
on modprobe.
This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware
loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common
callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware,
thus it has its own code.

Although the rtlwifi family of devices contains 11 copies of the pr_fmt
macro, the macro is not defined for all routines that need it. By moving
the macro to wifi.h, a single copy is available for all routines.
