PATCH 1/1 staging: r8188eu: remove cfg80211 residuals

remove cfg80211 implementation residuals:
an headeer file and build condition in Kconfig
file.

Dear Greg and Larry,
I thought that cfg80211 had been implemented.
Should we add a TODO file telling developers to
do it in the near future? Is that a condition
for mainlining r8188eu? If so please drop this
patch and sorry for noise.

I thought so too, but something has gone very wrong. Please hold off on this patch until I figure out why cfg80211 is not being used.

That's odd, I'll drop this from my queue, we should be using cfg80211

I will be going dark for a while as I add the cfg80211 bits back in.

One piece of good news. I dug out my PowerBook G4 with a PowerPC CPU and tested. Even with all the changes, the driver still works on a big-endian CPU.

Thanks Larry, and awesome news - a PowerBook G4 - one machine I'm sad I never owned back in the day :-)

Regards,
Phil
