It is checked in add_interface, but there it is easily replaced with
a check of priv->vif. If that information should become necessary,
it is available in vif->type anyway.
It is also checked in led_turn_on and led_turn_off, where I made the
substitutions as described above. Of course, these checks seem to
have been incorrect since the driver was using NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR
to indicate no interface rather than NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED.
Anyway, I think these checks may be extraneous...?

Michael Buesch reports that his rtl8187 gives warnings on suspend
("queueing ieee80211 work while going to suspend" warnings), as rtl8187
can call ieee80211_queue_delayed_work after mac80211 is suspended.
This change enhances rtl8187 led code so we can avoid queuing work after
mac80211 is suspended: now we register a radio led and make additional
checks to ensure led is off/on properly as mac80211 wants.

There are different bits used to convey the setting of the rfkill
switch to the driver. The current driver only supports one of these
possibilities. These changes were derived from the latest version
of the vendor driver.
This patch fixes the regression noted in kernel Bugzilla #14743.

The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and
RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the
trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned
back on.
Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have
a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will
not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

Current code for the RTL8187 is not returning valid retry information, thus the
rate-setting mechanism is not functioning. As a further complication, this info
is only obtained by reading a register, which cannot be read while in interrupt
context.
This patch implements the TX status return to mac80211 through the use of a
work queue.
One additional problem is that the driver currently enables the rate fallback
mechanism of the device, which conflicts with the mac80211 rate-setting
algorithm. This version of the patch disables rate fallback.

When SLUB debugging is enabled in the kernel, and the boot command includes
the option "slub_debug=P", rtl8187 encounters a GPF due to a read-after-free
of a urb.
Following the example of changes in p54usb to fix the same problem, the code
has been modified to use the usb_anchor_urb() method. With this change, the
USB core handles the freeing of urb's.
This patch fixes the problem reported in Kernel Bugzilla #12185
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12185).

Realtek 8187B has a receive command queue to feedback beacon interrupt
and transmitted packet status. Use it to feedback mac80211 about status
of transmitted packets. Unfortunately in the course of testing I found
that the sequence number reported by hardware includes entire sequence
control in a 12 bit only field, so a workaround is done to check only
lowest bits.
