50ea05efaf mac80211: pass block ack session timeout to to driver
Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the session
block ack timeout when starting a rx aggregation session.
Drivers that manage the reorder buffer need to know this
parameter.
Seeing that there are now too many arguments for the
drv_ampdu_action() function, wrap them inside a structure.

c0963772cb rtl8xxxu: fix unused rtl8192cu_fops compiler warning
kbuild reported:

rtl8xxxu.c:5786:32: warning: ‘rtl8192cu_fops’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]

Fix it by adding temporary ifdefs around the static functions.

033695bdf6 rtl8xxxu: move devices supported by rtlwifi under UNTESTED config
There are still four devices which are currently supported both by the new
rtl8xxxu driver and rtlwifi. To not break existing setups enable the support
for these four devices only when CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED is turned on.

Once rtl8xxxu support is found to be good enough the devices can be removed
from rtlwifi and enabled by default in rtl8xxxu.

26f1fad29a New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211)
This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.

After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
rewrite this driver from the bottom up.

Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
Finger for help with the vendor driver.

The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
    branch rtl8723au-mac80211

This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
support at this point.

The driver is known to work with the following devices:
Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)
Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru)
