Add new a Kconfig file and a vendor config for realtek. Also update MAINTAINERS
which we missed to do when earlier moving rtlwifi.

====================
here's a bigger pull request for 4.4. The diffstat looks scary as we
created a new directory realtek for all realtek drivers. In the future
I'm planning to create similar directories for all vendors, currently we
just have ath, mediatek and realtek. This change has been in linux-next
for a couple of weeks so it should be safe, but of course you never
know.
There's also a new driver rtl8xxxu for few realtek USB devices. This
just made it to the last linux-next build.
Otherwise there's nothing really special, more info below. If time
permits, and it's ok for you, I'm hoping to send you a one more pull
request this week.
brcmfmac
* using netdev carrier state
* add and rework some cfg80211 callbacks mainly for AP mode
* use devcoredump when triggered by firmware event
realtek
* create new directory drivers/net/wireless/realtek/ for all realtek
drivers, not visible to users (no kconfig changes etc)
* add rtl8xxxu, a new mac80211 driver for RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU,
RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, RTL8192CU and hopefully more in the future
ath10k
* add board 2 API support for automatically choosing correct board file
* data path optimisations
* disable PCI power save for qca988x and QCA99x0 due to interop reasons
wil6210
* BlockAckReq support
* firmware crashdump using devcoredump
* capture all frames with sniffer

kbuild reported:
rtl8xxxu.c:5786:32: warning: ‘rtl8192cu_fops’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
Fix it by adding temporary ifdefs around the static functions.

There are still four devices which are currently supported both by the new
rtl8xxxu driver and rtlwifi. To not break existing setups enable the support
for these four devices only when CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED is turned on.
Once rtl8xxxu support is found to be good enough the devices can be removed
from rtlwifi and enabled by default in rtl8xxxu.

This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.
After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
rewrite this driver from the bottom up.
Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
Finger for help with the vendor driver.
The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
branch rtl8723au-mac80211
This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
support at this point.
The driver is known to work with the following devices:
Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)
Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru)

Driver was reporting 'switch case not processed' after association,
so HW_VAR_KEEP_ALIVE was added and filled similarily to other drivers.
Positive side effect to this seems to be a bit more stable connection.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
