[PATCH 0/6] rtlwifi: Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups

This set of patches removes an unused paramter from routine rtl_ps_set_rf_state()
in rtlwifi. The routine is also no longer exported. In addition, a potential
race condition in 5 of the drivers is fixed.

This material is suitable for kernel 4.8. To my knowledge, the race condition
has not been shown to occur, thus these patches are not backported to stable
kernels.
