'struct rtl_hal_ops' and 'struct rtl_hal_cfg' are not modified in these
drivers.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.
Constification of rtl_hal_cfg is only needed in rtl8192cu/sw.c

Some of functions which were exposed in sw.h, are only used in sw.c, so
just make them static. The rtl92c_init_var_map function is not defined
anywhere, while declared in sw.h. Two other functions are also declared
in phy.h (which is included in sw.c) and their definitions are in phy.c
Overall sw.h is unnecessary and can be removed.

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.

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.

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.
