Subject: rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: Fix initialization of module parameters

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

commit 793b09994211fbe0b5cd5f7b6dd8cc9b6256c3c6 upstream.

This driver has some errors in the handling of module parameters. These
include missing initialization for parameters msi_support and
disable_watchdog. In addition, neither of these parameters nor sw_crypto
are transferred into the locations used by the driver. A final fix is
adding parameter msi to the module named and description macros.
