Well, actually, rt2x00 driver called update_hw before
register_hw (which is not required, but it did it).
So I think we can also call register_hwmode before
register_hw now, as register_hwmode basically does
nothing more than update_hw.

So, I think it should also work, if you call register_hwmode
before register_hw. Jiri?
