0) Support for rt2800pci (or "the rt2860/rt3090 chipsets") was added in
v2.6.33 (three years ago). References to the related Kconfig symbols
RALINK_RT288X and RALINK_RT305X were introduced in that release. So were
checks for their macros (CONFIG_RALINK_RT288X and CONFIG_RALINK_RT305X).

1) The Kconfig symbols themselves were never added in mainline. So these
references and macros appear to be just markers for dead code in
mainline, as that code will not be built.

2) This was previously discussed in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/110 . The patch submitted in that
message (which would remove all the dead code at the time) did not get
applied.

3) What is the current status of the (out of tree) code that adds
RALINK_RT288X and RALINK_RT305X?
