Changes in the drivers for RTL8723BE and RTL8821AE require corresponding
changes in the firmware. This new firmware has been accepted into the
Linux firmware repo. To handle the case where the kernel has been
updated before the firmware, the new versions have been given new names.
The code will attempt to read the new name, and fall back to the old one
if the new one is not available.

The debugging macros contain a parameter COMP_XX that could be used as a
mask; however, the code turns all these various bits on at the same time.
This change implements them as a proper mask, and adds module parameters
to set the mask at load time.
The current name "debug" for the debug level has been changed to
"debug_level" to better differentiate it from "debug_mask".
The debug routines have also been changed to interrogate the structure
that is loaded at entry time. As a result, the structure rtl_debug is no
longer needed, and all references to it are deleted.

This is a step toward eliminating the RT_TRACE macros. Those calls that
have DBG_EMERG as the level are always logged, and they represent error
conditions, thus they are replaced with pr_err().

In commit d86e647688 ("rtlwifi: rtl818x: constify local structures"),
the configuration struct for most of the drivers was changed to be
constant. The problem is that five of the modified drivers need to be
able to update the firmware name based on the exact model of the card.
As the file names were stored in one of the members of that struct,
these drivers would fail with a kernel BUG splat when they tried to
update the firmware name.
Rather than reverting the previous commit, I used a suggestion by
Johannes Berg and made the firmware file name pointers be local to
the routines that update the software variables.
The configuration struct of rtl8192cu, which was not touched in the
previous patch, is now constantfied.

For structure types defined in the same file or local header files, find
top-level static structure declarations that have the following
properties:
1. Never reassigned.
2. Address never taken
3. Not passed to a top-level macro call
4. No pointer or array-typed field passed to a function or stored in a
variable.
Declare structures having all of these properties as const.
Done using Coccinelle.

This driver failed to copy parameters sw_crypto and disable_watchdog into
the locations actually used by the driver. In addition, msi_support was
initialized three times and one of them used the wrong variable. The
initialization of parameter int_clear was moved so that it is near that
of the rest of the parameters.

In commit 54328e6404 ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix system lockups on boot"),
an attempt was made to fix a regression introduced in commit 1277fa2ab2
("rtlwifi: Remove the clear interrupt routine from all drivers").
Unfortunately, there were logic errors in that patch that prevented
affected boxes from booting even after that patch was applied.
The actual cause of the original problem is unknown as none of the
developers have systems that are affected.

====================
here's a bigger pull request for 4.4. The diffstat looks scary as we
created a new directory realtek for all realtek drivers. In the future
I'm planning to create similar directories for all vendors, currently we
just have ath, mediatek and realtek. This change has been in linux-next
for a couple of weeks so it should be safe, but of course you never
know.
There's also a new driver rtl8xxxu for few realtek USB devices. This
just made it to the last linux-next build.
Otherwise there's nothing really special, more info below. If time
permits, and it's ok for you, I'm hoping to send you a one more pull
request this week.
brcmfmac
* using netdev carrier state
* add and rework some cfg80211 callbacks mainly for AP mode
* use devcoredump when triggered by firmware event
realtek
* create new directory drivers/net/wireless/realtek/ for all realtek
drivers, not visible to users (no kconfig changes etc)
* add rtl8xxxu, a new mac80211 driver for RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU,
RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, RTL8192CU and hopefully more in the future
ath10k
* add board 2 API support for automatically choosing correct board file
* data path optimisations
* disable PCI power save for qca988x and QCA99x0 due to interop reasons
wil6210
* BlockAckReq support
* firmware crashdump using devcoredump
* capture all frames with sniffer

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.
