Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] staging: rtl8192u: remove redundant macro definitions
Several ieee80211_* symbol names are extended with _rsl tag using
macros. This is done to avoid a conflict when a similar symbol is
already in use in another part of kernel and may lead to conflicts.
However, most of these base symbol names are not found to being used
anywhere in the code and hence are not useful today. These symbols
are not used outside of the module and hence can be safely removed.
The code continues to use the original symbol names.
Suggested-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

Changes in v3:
1. The patch caused a build failure due to EXPORT_SYMBOL conflict across
modules. Retain macro defines for ieee80211_wake_queue and ieee80211_stop_queue
to avoid EXPORT_SYMBOL conflict caused by similar function names from
net/mac80211 module.
Correction and resubmission asked by gregkh@...uxfoundation.org
Changes in v2:
1. Review other similar macro defines and clean those up as well.
Suggested by gregkh@...uxfoundation.org
2. Revise patch log to explain impact of the patch
