for all three patches

- finishing unification of rt{28,30}70sta drivers (shouldn't be difficult,
  as it mostly requires replacing ifdefs with chipsets version checks and
  checking the end result with the hardware)

- finishing unification of rt28{6,7}0sta drivers (similar complexity)

> Bart, are you preparing some patches for these drivers?

Not at the moment and I would prefer to make some overdue changes
to rtl8187se, rtl8192su and rt3090 first anyway..
