Look at how these defines are used.  Take RTL8192E_PHY_REG_ARRAY_LEN
as an example.

It's only used to create the PHY_REGArrayLength define.  Layers upon
layers of indirection.  Get rid of the RTL8192E_PHY_REG_ARRAY_LEN
completely just do:

#define PHY_REGArrayLength 1

Except get rid of that as well and use ARRAY_SIZE().

What I'm saying is don't send a v6 of this patch.  Just step back and
try to figure out how to get rid of all this code instead of renaming
the variable.s

regars,
