The present build configuration for the rtlwifi family of drivers will
fail under two known conditions:
(1) If rtlwifi is selected without selecting any of the dependent drivers,
there are errors in the build.
(2) If the PCI drivers are built into the kernel and the USB drivers are modules,
or vice versa, there are missing globals.
The first condition is fixed by never building rtlwifi unless at least one
of the device drivers is selected. The second failure is fixed by splitting
the PCI and USB codes out of rtlwifi, and creating their own mini drivers.
If the drivers that use them are modules, they will also be modules.
Although a number of files are touched by this patch, only Makefile and Kconfig
have undergone significant changes. The only modifications to the other files
were to export entry points needed by the new rtl_pci and rtl_usb units, or to
rename two variables that had names that were likely to cause namespace collisions.

As the number of drivers in the rtlwifi family has grown, the Kconfig
section for them has grown unwieldy. This change has two effects: (1)
Variable RTLWIFI_DEBUG is documented, and (2) the entries for the
drivers that depend on RTLWIFI are indented.

The kbuild test robot reports the following warning with x86_64-randconfig-x955:
warning: (RTL8192CE && RTL8192SE && RTL8192DE && RTL8723AE && RTL8192CU) selects
RTLWIFI which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && WLAN &&
(RTL8192CE || RTL8192CU || RTL8192SE || RTL8192DE))
This warning was introduced in commit a290593, "rtlwifi: Modify files for addition
of rtl8723ae", and is d ue to a missing dependence of RTLWIFI on RTL8723AE.

This patch modifies the files of rtlwifi for the addition of a new driver
to handle the Realtek RTL8723AE wireless device, and introduces a new
routine to maintaim statistics that will be used later for roaming.

All of the rtlwifi-family of drivers have been in the kernel since 3.1
or earlier. The dependence on EXPERIMENTAL can be removed.

with any rtlwifi driver built as a module.

It does seem odd though to have a DBG_EMERG and not always
emit it.
What might also be useful for any embedded use is to add
CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG to conditionally remove all of the
debug logging code to reduce the largish object size.
This reduces the object size by about 1/3 (250KB)
when CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG is not set.

This patch also disables ASPM for the RTL8192SE to prevent some strange

As noted by Stephan Rothwell, an allyesconfig build fails since rtl8192cu
was merged with failures such as:
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/built-in.o: In function `rtl92c_phy_sw_chnl':
(.opd+0xf30): multiple definition of `rtl92c_phy_sw_chnl'
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/built-in.o:(.opd+0xb70): first defined here
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/built-in.o: In function `rtl92c_fill_h2c_cmd':
(.opd+0x288): multiple definition of `rtl92c_fill_h2c_cmd'
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/built-in.o:(.opd+0x288): first defined here
These are caused because the code shared between rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu
is included in both drivers. This has been fixed by creating a new modue that
contains the shared code.
