The current order is mostly the result of incremental steps leading to
the final conclusions so indeed it can be polished a bit now.

Done, also the patch adding rt2800lib.h has been moved in front the ones
adding rt2800_ops.

[ I've kept all ACKs in affected patches, I hope people are fine with it. ]

struct rt2x00_led is referenced in rt2800lib.h so instead of adding more
ifdefs to fix build I removed needless ones.

This was also needed to fix build (for patch #40 IIRC).

I've moved #37 and #39 near the beginning of the patch series (after
"rt2x00: fix rt2x00usb_register_read() comment" patch).

The rt2800 tree has been updated to reflect above changes (rt2800-v2.1
branch is now the current one), if somebody would like to see patches
please ping me (I think that such minor updates don't justify spamming
mailing list w/ 41 patches but that's just me).

Thanks.
