Subject: [PATCH v4 5/8] staging: r8188eu: use sizeof instead of hardcoded firmware header size

Use sizeof() instead of hardcoding the firmware header size and add
a compile time check to ensure struct rt_firmware_hdr has the correct
size.

Signed-off-by: Michael Straube <straube.linux@...il.com>

v4:
