Several of the driver implement this routine using the same code. This set
of patches creates a common routine in driver rtlwifi, converts each of the
drivers to use the new routine, and then deletes the now unused old code.

These patches rely on two prerequisite patches:

[PATCH 11/11] rtlwifi: Remove extern from function prototypes by Joe Perches
TCH] rtlwifi: remove duplicate declarations and macros in headers by Catalin Iacob

None of these patches fix any bugs. They merely reduce the size of the source code,
thus they need no particular priority.
