libertas: TX packet is radiotap iff it comes from rtap_dev
Fix one of the barriers to simultaneous radiotap and normal operation --
stop misinterpreting the TX packets on the normal devices. We're also
going to have to clone the incoming skbs and feed them into both
devices, and there seem to be firmware problems with staying associated
too. But this is a reasonable start...

There seems to be no point in doing it as an ieee80211 device instead of

Firstly, they set the frame type, which isn't necessary since
lbs_hard_start_xmit() gets to see which device it belongs to anyway.
Secondly, they return -EOPNOTSUPP if the device is in monitor mode.
Which is a strange thing to do and will provide nasty warnings from
qdisc_restart(). And lbs_hard_start_xmit() seems to have code to cope
with monitor mode anyway.

It was buggy as hell anyway, since it was just spewing packets at the

We could probably do with a better way of flushing packets to the device
_immediately_, before we stick it back into sleep mode. But we can no
longer just dequeue packets directly, it seems.

Using an arbitrary firmware command was actually very painful. One
had to change big switch() statements in cmd.c, cmdresp.c, add
structs to the big union in "struct cmd_ds_command" and add the
define for the CMD_802_11_xxx to the proper place.
With this function, this is now much easier. For now, it implements
a blocking (a.k.a. CMD_OPTION_WAITFORRSP) way where one deals directly

This patch eliminates the warning of unused return values when the driver
registers it sysfs files. Now the driver will print an error if it is
unable to register the sysfs files.
It also eliminates the macros used to wrap the DEVICE_ATTR macro and the
device_create_file function call. The macros don't reduce the number of
lines of source code in the file and the name munging makes is so that
cscope and friends don't see the references to the functions. It's better
to just call the kernel API directly.
While we're at it, the DEVICE_ATTR instances have been moved down to
be grouped with the functions they depend on.
