The main goal of this series is to get rid of a needless and ugly typedef
in the rtl8712 wlan driver.

In the course of fixing that, I found a bug thati will can might (at least in theory)
lead to a overrun during a memcpy, as well as a duplicate struct.
Finally after cleaning up the typedef, I could not bring myself to leave
a variable called SupportedRates in the kernel with my name on it.

I have tested this on amd64. cwthe module loads and doesn't explode

r8712_get_ndis_wlan_bssid_ex_sz has a "6 * sizeof(unsigned long)"
where the underlying struct has a 6 * unsigned char.
Simplify the calculation by just subtracting the variable part from
the size of the struct.

This also gets rid of a use of typedef NDIS_802_11_RATES_EX

replace item-by-item  size calculation of a struct
with the size of the struct.

change instances SupportedRates to compliant and sane "rates"
This change in no way harms readability, and brings several lines
under the 80 character limit.

Write a better subject line.

Yeah, but it does a some other stuff as well like removing casts.

I actually like the != 0 here because we're talking about the number
zero.  It should look like this:

		while (pcur_bss->rates[i] != 0 &&
		       pcur_bss->rates[i] != 0xFF) {

But removing the parens is something for a different patch.  I use a
script to help review these so when you mix different changes together
it means there is more manual review work for me.

I apologize. I thought it would make sense to double up (while I'm in there 
I'll just...).
