'struct rtl_hal_ops' and 'struct rtl_hal_cfg' are not modified in these
drivers.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.
Constification of rtl_hal_cfg is only needed in rtl8192cu/sw.c
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:

And use the stored addresses in rtl8192cu instead of hardcoding them.
This is what the vendor drivers do.
Perhaps this is not strictly necessary for RTL8192CU devices. However,
the dual mac version of RTL8192DU has two USB interfaces, each with its
own set of endpoints. Hardcoding their addresses in the upcoming
rtl8192du driver would require making some assumptions which I'm not
qualified to make.

Currently it takes almost 6 seconds to upload the firmware for RTL8192CU
(and 11 seconds for RTL8192DU). That's because the firmware is uploaded
one byte at a time.
Also, after plugging the device, the firmware gets uploaded three times
before a connection to the AP is established.
Maybe this is fine for most users, but when testing changes to the
driver it's really annoying to wait so long.
Speed up the firmware upload by writing chunks of 64 bytes at a time.
This way it takes about 110 ms for RTL8192CU (and about 210 ms for
RTL8192DU).
PCI devices could upload it in chunks of 4 bytes, but I don't have any
to test and commit 89d32c9071 ("rtlwifi: Download firmware as bytes
rather than as dwords") decided otherwise anyway.
Allocate memory for the firmware image with kmalloc instead of vzalloc
because this memory is passed directly to usb_control_msg(), which
can't take memory allocated by vmalloc.

Since 'fill_fake_txdesc()' is actually implemented for rtl8192cu
only but never used, there is no need to maintain function pointer
in 'struct rtl_hal_ops' and 'rtl92cu_fill_fake_txdesc()' may be
dropped. Compile tested only.

The debugging macros contain a parameter COMP_XX that could be used as a
mask; however, the code turns all these various bits on at the same time.
This change implements them as a proper mask, and adds module parameters
to set the mask at load time.
The current name "debug" for the debug level has been changed to
"debug_level" to better differentiate it from "debug_mask".
The debug routines have also been changed to interrogate the structure
that is loaded at entry time. As a result, the structure rtl_debug is no
longer needed, and all references to it are deleted.

In commit d86e647688 ("rtlwifi: rtl818x: constify local structures"),
the configuration struct for most of the drivers was changed to be
constant. The problem is that five of the modified drivers need to be
able to update the firmware name based on the exact model of the card.
As the file names were stored in one of the members of that struct,
these drivers would fail with a kernel BUG splat when they tried to
update the firmware name.
Rather than reverting the previous commit, I used a suggestion by
Johannes Berg and made the firmware file name pointers be local to
the routines that update the software variables.
The configuration struct of rtl8192cu, which was not touched in the
previous patch, is now constantfied.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
