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 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.

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:

* 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

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.

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.

1. Never reassigned.

3. Not passed to a top-level macro call
4. No pointer or array-typed field passed to a function or stored in a

There are nine copies of the _rtl88ee_read_adapter_info() function,
and most but not all of them cause a build warning in some configurations:
rtl8192de/hw.c: In function '_rtl92de_read_adapter_info':
rtl8192de/hw.c:1767:12: error: 'hwinfo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
rtl8723ae/hw.c: In function '_rtl8723e_read_adapter_info.constprop':
rtlwifi/rtl8723ae/hw.c:1654:12: error: 'hwinfo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
The problem is that when rtlefuse->epromtype is something other than
EEPROM_BOOT_EFUSE, the rest of the function uses undefined data, resulting
in random behavior later.
Apparently, in some drivers, the problem was already found and fixed
but the fix did not make it into the others.
This picks one approach to deal with the problem and applies identical
code to all 9 files, to simplify the later consolidation of those.
