Subject: [PATCH 0/8] staging: r8188eu: more rf cleanups

Here's another set with cleanups of the rf configuration code.

The last of the patches is "testing the water". It seems that this driver
uses only RF_PATH_A and we can eventually drop all RF_PATH_B handling. At
the moment, the only way to access RF_PATH_B registers is via private
ioctls. I'd like to restrict them to path A.

As usual, this series was t ested with EdimaxV2 on an arm32 embedded system.
