Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] staging: r8188eu: cleanup c2h_handler code

This small patch set cleans up the c2h_handler code in the HAL layer
of the driver. In r8188eu, this field of struct hal_ops, is not even
used, so dependent code has always returned _FAIL. For this reason, we
should remove this function pointer field, and the wrapper function
which checks it. This is done in stages by this set, and helps get
the driver closer to the pointer where the HAL layer is
deleted/integrated as necessary and no longer a separate entity.

This V2 version contains a small change to the return type of
c2h_evt_hdl, based on feedback from Pavel Skripkin. I've also folded
currently received Acked-by tags into the commit messages.
