Subject: [PATCH v5 0/1] staging: rtl8192u: Rename ChannelPlan to channel_plan and fix shadowed index

This is my first contribution to Linux Kernel. 
This patch addresses a naming inconsistency in the rtl8192u driver.

- The global array `ChannelPlan` has been renamed to `channel_plan` to follow Linux kernel naming conventions.
- The local variable used as an index into this array was also named `channel_plan`, which caused shadowing. It has been renamed to `chan` for clarity and to avoid confusion.

Changes since v4:
- Renamed `chan_plan_idx` to `chan` per Dan Carpenter’s suggestion.
- Removed unrelated and accidental changes to `Makefile` and `init/main.c`.

This change improves code readability and compliance with kernel coding style.
