This driver utilizes a FIFO buffer for RX descriptors. There are four places
in the code where it calculates the number of free slots. Several of those
locations do the calculation incorrectly. To fix these and to prevent future
mistakes, a common inline routine is created.

The hardware and firmware for the RTL8192EE utilize a FIFO list of
descriptors. There were some problems with the initial implementation.
The worst of these failed to detect that the FIFO was becoming full,
which led to the device needing to be power cycled. As this condition
is not relevant to most of the devices supported by rtlwifi, a callback
routine was added to detect this situation. This patch implements the
necessary changes in the pci handler, and the linkage into the appropriate
rtl8192ee routine.

The firmware supplies two kinds of packets via the RX mechanism. Besides the
normal data received over the air, these packets may contain bluetooth status
and other information. The present code fails to detect which kind of
information was received.

Initially, the routine to update the write point in the FIFO buffer was
coded to save CPU time by not doing the calculation every interrupt. This
was an error and results in TX hangs.

In the Makefile for this driver, the wrong Kconfig option is used
to trigger the compilation of the object file. This leads to the
driver only being included into the kernel when both CONFIG_RTL8821AE
and CONFIG_RTL8192AE are set to "y".

In four of the rtlwifi drivers, the Makefile contains superfluous
statements indicating the compilation of the driver as an LKM
regardless of the corresponding Kconfig option.
If the corresponding option is set to 'y', the build system will then
see the object file in obj-m and obj-y, which leads to a compilation
as a built-in only. Even though this leads to the desired behavior,
the unconditional appearance in obj-m is confusing for someone reading
the Makefile.
This patch removes the superfluous Makefile statements.

This driver was entered into staging a few cycles ago because there was
not time to integrate the Realtek version into the support routines in
the kernel. Now that there is an effort to converg the code base from Linux
and the Realtek repo, it is time to move this driver. In addition, all the
updates included in the 06/28/2014 version of the Realtek drivers are
included here.
With this change, it will be necessary to delete the staging driver. That
will be handled in a separate patch. As it impacts the staging tree, such a
patch is sent to a different destination.
