HW is programmed with wrong retry count value for TX:

Mac80211 passes to driver the number of times the TX should be attempted.
The HW, instead, wants the number of time the TX should be retried if it fails
the first time (assuming we have to TX it at least one time).

This patch correct this.

Rtl8187se support has been added to the rtl818x_pci driver by extracting a lot
of information from a rtl8187se Linux staging driver included in the kernel at
the time rtl8187se support was added.
The rtl818x_pci main file has a comment that advertises this.

Recently this staging driver has been removed from the kernel, but I still feel
it can be useful as "reference" code (in case of bugs, or to implement
improvements in rtl818x_pci driver).

This one-line patch adds a comment in rtl818x_pci driver to point people
searching for that "reference code" to the last kernel version still containing
it (3.14).

Measuring time between _end_ of CTS-to-self and _end_ of datapacket (with a
prism54 board and mac80211 hacked to let the MAC timestamp stay untouched in the
radiotap header) resulted in about 300uS, while the datapacket itself should be
by far shorter (less than 100uS) and IFS should be SIFS (10uS).
This measure was confirmed whith a scope: about 250uS IFS has been seen between
the two packets.

This situation causes the CTS-to-self protection mechanism to work incorrectly
due to the NAV expiring during, or even before beginning, the packet
transmission, and it also causes the performances to be anyway reduced due to
time waste.

This problem has been seen at every packet TXed with CTS-to-self enabled on
rtl8185 board.
rtl8187se seems not affected (and rtl8180, being a 802.11b card, does not have
CTS-to-self mechaninsm).

This patch fixes this by adding a magic register write, making the board wait
for correct SIFS after CTS-to-self packet.

BSSID register was written with six byte-writes.
It seems that, similarly to what happens with MAC registers, they needs to be
written with one 16-bit and one 32-bit writes, otherwise the write does not work.

The byte write didn't work only on my rtl8185, while it worked on rtl8180 and
rtl8187se, BTW since there are probably a number of different ASIC revisions out
of there, I let the change to affect all cards.
It shouldn't hurt anyway.

The patch fixes a couple of issues:
- absence of deallocation of rsi_dev->rx_usb_urb[0] in the driver;
- potential NULL pointer dereference because of lack of checks for memory
  allocation success in rsi_init_usb_interface().

By the way, it makes rsi_probe() returning error code instead of 1
and fixes comments regarding returning values.

The p54 driver uses request_firmware() twice, once for actual

EEPROM, 3826.eeprom. The custom EEPROM  is optional but if not

The users of the fwil put an error message in the log so there is
no need to do the same in the lower level functions in fwil when
the firmware on the device returns an error. Some errors can be
ignored for the driver to function and this will avoid driver users
to point at the low-level error message as potential bug.
