order to move this driver off drivers/staging. It's missing from original
addition of this driver.

To-do list:
* Correct the coding style according to Linux guidelines; please read the document
at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html.
* Remove unnecessary debugging/printing macros; for those that are still needed
use the proper kernel API (pr_debug(), dev_dbg(), netdev_dbg()).
* Remove dead code such as unusued functions, variables, fields, etc..
* Use in-kernel API and remove unnecessary wrappers where possible.
* Fix bugs due to code that sleeps in atomic context.
* Remove the HAL layer and migrate its functionality into the relevant parts of
the driver.
* Switch to use LIB80211.
* Switch to use MAC80211.
* Switch to use CFG80211.
* Improve the error handling of various functions, particularly those that use
existing kernel APIs.
