Subject: [PATCH 0/3] staging: delete duplicated files/functionality in rtl8712

A git grep happened to lead me into this dir, and once there I couldn't
simply leave and pretend I didn't see the stuff that I saw.

There were duplicated basic networking headers like if_ether.h and
ip.h (of course, some ancient versions, too).  And a whole whack of
boilerplate endian handling functionality duplicated too.

I forced myself to stop looking after that.

Anyway, a trivial redirection onto mainline's networking headers
in the proper include dir, and a deletion of any references to
the endian headers and the thing still happily builds on x86_64
and ppc even after shitcanning seven useless files.

These three commits are against May 8th's linux-next tree.  I've
used "-D" to hide the line-by-line content of the deletions.

Paul.
