Subject: [PATCH V4 V4 0/8] clean up wlan_bssdef.h

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

In the course of fixing that, I found a bug that can (at least in theory)
lead to a overrun during a memcpy, as well as an identical struct with
a different name, which use the typedef.
Finally after cleaning up the typedef, change the name of the primary
variable that used the typedef from "SupportedRates" to "rates", to
conform to kernel coding style.

Changes since V1:
Do not make other logic changes while Changing the name of SupportedRates
New patch 3/6 fixes a buggy comment that referred to the typedef

Changes since V2:
broke former patch 4 into 3 parts, as it was too big for git-send-email

Changes since V3:
In patch 8/8 Change the line wrapping of lines that fit within 80
characters, removing superfluous "== true" expressions that would 
otherwise keep the lines overlong.
