Subject: [PATCH 0/2] staging: rtl8192e: Removing rf_type RF_2T4R from driver

Removing rf_type RF_2T4R from driver as it is dead code.

First reason:
The following table is used to configure the phy base band:
u32 Rtl8192PciEPHY_REGArray[PHY_REGArrayLengthPciE] = {0x0,};
A valid array has at least two columns.

Second reason:
According to a list of devices from wiki the seven shown devices do only support
MIMO config: 1x2:2 in phy modes b,g,n. The only rf chip that is used is RTL8256.

Tested with rtl8192e
Transferred this patch over wlan connection of rtl8192e

This patch series requires the patches:
"[PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: Change filename r8192E_hwimg.x to table.x"
"[PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: Remove call_usermodehelper starting RadioPower.sh"
"[PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: Remove function ..dm_check_ac_dc_power calling a script"
