When originally introduced into staging, these drivers had custom
firmware-loading code which checked a version number and CRC at the
end of each blob. This reintroduces those checks, using crc-ccitt
instead of custom code.
The removed firmware will be added to the linux-firmware.git
repository.
Based on work by Darren Salt <linux@youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk>.

After the incorporation of the patch entitled "wext: refactor", some
of the wireless drivers in drivers/staging fail to build because they
need to have CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV defined.
[ patch description borrowed from the previous fix for wireless staging
drivers ("staging: Add proper selection of WIRELESS_EXT and WEXT_PRIV")

Change the wireless drivers to depend on CONFIG_WLAN instead of
CONFIG_WLAN_80211 which is going away soon.

* remove RT30xx ifdefs
* add -DRT3070 to rt2870's EXTRA_CFLAGS
* because of changes in the way that hardware is initialized/accessed
rt3070 driver's firmware should be now also used by rt2870 driver
(this is also done by newer out-of-tree vendor driver versions, i.e.
2.1.0.0, historically in-kernel driver was based on 1.4.0.0 version)
* change RT28xx_CHIP_NAME to RTxx70
* update rt2870's help entry text
* add MODULE_ALIAS("rt3070sta") to rt2870
* update rt3070's dependencies

This is the Ralink RT2870 driver from the company that does horrible
things like reading a config file from /etc. However, the driver that
is currently under development from the wireless development community
is not working at all yet, so distros and users are using this version
instead (quite common hardware on a lot of netbook machines).
So here is this driver, for now, until the wireless developers get a
"clean" version into the main tree, or until this version is cleaned up
sufficiently to move out of the staging tree.
Ported to the Linux build system and cleaned up a bit already by me.
