In commit 6773386f97 ("rtlwifi: rtl8192c-common: Fix "BUG: KASAN:"),
a BUG detected when CONFIG_KASAN=y was fixed by reordering the layouts
of struct rtl_pci_priv, and struct rtl_usb_priv so that the variables
used by both PCI and USB drivers have the same offsets in both structs.
The better fix of relocating the critical variables into struct rtl_priv
was deferred as these changes do not have to be applied to stable
kernels.
This change also removes CamelCase variables with pLed0 => pled0.

The firmware is read from disk as a little-endian byte string. The code
that loads the firmware into the device transfers it as 4-byte quantities.
The routines that write multi-byte quantities on BE hardware assume that
the data are in CPU order, and automatically do the conversion to the LE
order required by the device. As a result, the firmware is transmitted
incorrectly. Rather than do multiple byte swaps on the data, the download
routine is revised to transmit bytes rather than dwords. Although the
number of I/O operations is increased, the firmware is not often loaded.
All drivers have the same bug, and use essentially the same code to
download firmware. These routines have been moved into rtlwifi.
Some CamelCase variables have been renamed.

The most notable change here is the inclusion of airtime fairness
scheduling to ath9k. It prevents slow clients from hogging all the
airtime and unfairly slowing down faster clients.
Otherwise smaller changes and cleanup.
Major changes:
ath9k
* cleanup eeprom endian handling
* add airtime fairness scheduling
ath10k
* fix issues for new QCA9377 firmware version
* support dev_coredump() for firmware crash dump
* enable channel 169 on 5 GHz band

The symbol DBG_EMERG is no longer used and is removed.
In a number of places, the code has redundant messages. For example, if
the failure for the firmware to run is logged, it is not necessary to
log that the firmware has been started. In addition, extraneous braces are
removed.

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().

This macro can be replaced with WARN_ONCE. In addition to using a
standard debugging macro for these critical errors, we also get
a stack dump.
In rtl8821ae/hw.c, a senseless comment was removed, and an incorrect
indentation was fixed.
This patch also fixes two places in each of rtl8192ee, rtl8723be,
and rtl8821ae where the logical condition was incorrect.

RT_TRACE does not add a newline to the end of a message and always
emits at KERN_DEBUG so these are susceptible to message interleaving
from other processes without the newline.

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.
