When connecting to AP, mac80211 asks driver to enter and leave PS quickly,
but driver deinit doesn't wait for delayed work complete when entering PS,
then driver reinit procedure and delay work are running simultaneously.
This will cause unpredictable kernel oops or crash like

This patch ensures all delayed works done before entering PS to satisfy
our expectation, so use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. An exception
is delayed work ips_nic_off_wq because running task may be itself, so add
a parameter ips_wq to deinit function to handle this case.
This issue is reported and fixed in below threads:

If there is no connection, driver will enter IPS state. Meanwhile, it
fails to scan channel 1 by the command 'iw dev wlan0 scan freq 2412',
because hardware channel setting lose after IPS. Thus, restore channel
setting from hw->conf.channel set by last rtl_op_config().

Enter/leavel IPS and LPS are large critical section, and they can't use
sleep function because running in atomic-context, which own a spin_lock.
In commit ba9f93f82a ("rtlwifi: Fix enter/exit power_save"), it moves
LPS functions to thread-context, so this commit can simply change LPS's
spin lock to mutex.
Considering IPS functions, rtl_ips_nic_on() may be called by TX tasklet
(softirq-context) that check whether packet is auth frame. Fortunately,
current mac80211 will ask driver to leave IPS using op_config with
changed flag IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE, before issuing auth frame, so
IPS functions can run in thread-context and use mutex to protect critical
section, too.
Also, this commit removes some useless spin locks.

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to

In commit a5ffbe0a19 ("rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bug") and
commit a269913c52 ("rtlwifi: Rework rtl_lps_leave() and rtl_lps_enter()
to use work queue"), an error was introduced in the power-save routines
due to the fact that leaving PS was delayed by the use of a work queue.
This problem is fixed by detecting if the enter or leave routines are
in interrupt mode. If so, the workqueue is used to place the request.
If in normal mode, the enter or leave routines are called directly.

Commit 4b9d8d67b4 ("rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Remove unused parameter") reworked
this routine. Those changes were later reverted by commit d3feae41a3
("rtlwifi: Update power-save routines for 062814 driver").
There were two changes in commit 4b9d8d67b4. The first of these removed
a parameter from rtl_ps_set_rf_state() that was always false. This is the
change that is restored in the current patch. A second change that reworked
the locking is still being analyzed.
In addition to removing the unused parameter, there is no need for
rtl_ps_set_rf_state() to be exported.

rtl_lps_enter does two successive check for cnt_after_linked
to make sure some time has elapsed after linked. The second
check isn't necessary, because if cnt_after_linked is bigger
than 5, it is bigger than 2 of course!
This patch remove the second check code.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
