Several of these drivers have there TX randomly blocked for 3~5 seconds while
measuring tx throughput (iperf). The root couse happens in rtl_pci_flush().
The function uses a while-loop to wait for TX queue length to decrease to 0.
The TX queue length counts the number of packets that are queued in the driver.
The driver relys on the TX OK interrupt to return skb and reduce TX queue length.
The interrupt subroutine disables interupts, reads the interrupt registers, and
then clears the registers in the beginning of _rtl_pci_interrupt(). After all
interupts process are finished, the driver invokes enable_interrupt() to enable
interupts. This behavior is normal for an interrupt subroutine.
But enable_interrupt() invokes clear_interrupt() again. This unexpected interrupt
clearing may cleari me fresh TX OK interrupts. These missing interrupts cause TX
queue length to never reduce to 0i, which causes rtl_pci_flush() to be stuck in
unterminated while-loop.
This patch removes clear_interrupt() in enable_interrupt() to avoid this behavior.

All hw driver components in the rtlwifi driver, except for the
rtl8192de component has this bug. They would clear BE bit in the
ACM_CTRL register instead of the VO bit when processing the VO queue.

This patch updates the driver to match the latest Realtek release, and
it is an important step in getting the internal code source at Realtek to match
the code in the kernel. The primary reason for this is to make it easier for
Realtek to maintain the kernel source without requiring an intermediate like me.
In this process of merging the two source repositories, there are a lot
of changes in both, and this commit is rather large.

Realtek released a new version of the drivers on 06/28/2014. This
patch implements the new power-save code. These changes also force
corresponding changes in the drivers.

Casting a pointer to a pointer of the same type is pointless,
so remove these unnecessary casts.
Around these changes:
o Remove unnecessary parentheses
o Use consistent dereference style (change ptr[0] to *ptr)
o Argument alignment
