It turned out that CONFIG_BROKEN is no longer an user visible option so by
applying this change we would lose the advantage of having the upstream build
testing and early detection of breakages related to upstream API updates.

[ I've just noticed now that rt2800pci was no longer included in the build
  and dropped the patch from rt2800 tree. ]
