Phillip Potter ae7471cae0 staging: r8188eu: remove rtw_ioctl function
Remove rtw_ioctl function from os_dep/ioctl_linux.c, its declaration
in include/osdep_intf.h, and finally its inclusion as the value of the
.ndo_do_ioctl member of struct net_device_ops rtw_netdev_ops in
os_dep/os_intfs.c.

The e-mail from Arnd Bergmann at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/CAK8P3a0WRMNmBmBDerZ0nWPdFZKALnxrj-uUFBkTP-MOtv48vg@mail.gmail.com
explains the justification for this approach. Essentially, changes from
net-next make the existing function and its use of SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls
unworkable without changes.

Functions called from rtw_ioctl that are now no longer accessible will
be cleaned up in further patches. Additionally, once these changes have
made their way downstream to the staging branch, we can modify and
reconnect rtw_android_priv_cmd via ndo_siocdevprivate in struct
net_device_ops.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
