&lt;andrey.krieger.utkin@gmail.com&gt; and entitled "staging: rtl8192ee:
"Correct bitmask in comparsion" fixed what appeared to be a typo. After
consultation with the Realtek engineers, merely testing for a 2T2R device
is sufficient to ensure that the TX MCS map will equal 0x0c, thus the second
test can be ignored.

The issue is discovered by static checker. The proposed change (0x000c0
-&gt; 0x000c) is likely correct because:
1. 16-bit `map` holds value coming from struct
ieee80211_vht_mcs_info.tx_mcs_map, which is described so: "TX MCS map 2
bits for each stream, total 8 streams". The changed code refers to case
of 2 TX streams, and 0x000c mask filters two bits related to the second
stream. Some codelines below 0x0003 mask is used to test first stream.
2. Mask 0x000c is used 3 more times in that place.
3. Specifying 5 digits of hex value is uncommon, especially while working
with `u16` variable. So likely the trailing zero is a typo.

struct rtl_stats is rather huge (152 bytes), and since

well be passed by const reference.

Two Kconfig entries default to (uppercase) "N". It was clearly intended
to use "default n". But since (lowercase) "n" is the default anyway,
these lines might as well be removed.
