CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As result the __dev*
markings will be going away.

Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst,
and __devexit.

<title>wireless: drivers: make use of WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC</title>

The include file linux/ieee80211.h contains three definitions for
the same thing in enum ieee80211_eid due to historic changes:

/* Information Element IDs */
enum ieee80211_eid {
    :
    WLAN_EID_WPA = 221,
    WLAN_EID_GENERIC = 221,
    WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC = 221,
    :
};

The standard refers to this as "vendor specific" element so the
other two definitions are better not used. This patch changes the
wireless drivers to use one definition, ie. WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC.

Using is_zero_ether_addr() and is_broadcast_ether_addr() instead of
directly use memcmp() to determine if the ethernet address is all zeros.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.

qmi_wwan.c resolution provided by Bjørn Mork.

batman-adv conflict is dealing merely with the changes
of global function names to have a proper subsystem
prefix.

ipv6's route.c conflict is merely two side-by-side additions
of network namespace methods.

"qual" used to be declared on the stack, but then in 998a5a7d6a ("airo:
reduce stack memory footprint") we made it dynamically allocated.
Unfortunately the memcpy() here was missed and it's still copying stack
memory instead of the data that we want.  In other words, "&amp;qual" should
be "qual".

<title>wireless: Remove casts to same type</title>

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

        int y;
        int *p = (int *)&amp;y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
+       p

Neatened the mwifiex_deauthenticate_infra function which
was doing odd things with array pointers and not using
is_zero_ether_addr.
