Several of these drivers have there TX randomly blocked for 3~5 seconds while
measuring tx throughput (iperf). The root couse happens in rtl_pci_flush().
The function uses a while-loop to wait for TX queue length to decrease to 0.
The TX queue length counts the number of packets that are queued in the driver.
The driver relys on the TX OK interrupt to return skb and reduce TX queue length.
The interrupt subroutine disables interupts, reads the interrupt registers, and
then clears the registers in the beginning of _rtl_pci_interrupt(). After all
interupts process are finished, the driver invokes enable_interrupt() to enable
interupts. This behavior is normal for an interrupt subroutine.
But enable_interrupt() invokes clear_interrupt() again. This unexpected interrupt
clearing may cleari me fresh TX OK interrupts. These missing interrupts cause TX
queue length to never reduce to 0i, which causes rtl_pci_flush() to be stuck in
unterminated while-loop.
This patch removes clear_interrupt() in enable_interrupt() to avoid this behavior.

The driver was setting a channel plan for the world. Now it reads it fromi
EEPROM.
In addition, a typo was fixed.

All hw driver components in the rtlwifi driver, except for the
rtl8192de component has this bug. They would clear BE bit in the
ACM_CTRL register instead of the VO bit when processing the VO queue.

There are instances where the DMA engine stalls. The new code detects
such stalls and restarts DMA without needing a power reset.

The driver logs a message when the default branch of switch statements are
taken. Such information is useful when debugging, but these log items should
not be seen for standard usage.

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.
