Subject: [PATCH 0/5] 

The main goal of this series is to get rid of a needless and ugly typedef
in the rtl8712 wlan driver.

In the course of fixing that, I found a bug thati will can might (at least in theory)
lead to a overrun during a memcpy, as well as a duplicate struct.
Finally after cleaning up the typedef, I could not bring myself to leave
a variable called SupportedRates in the kernel with my name on it.

I have tested this on amd64. cwthe module loads and doesn't explode
