The index for r8188eu's vendor-specific control requests is not used.
Remove the index parameter from usbctrl_vendorreq and pass index 0 to
usb_control_msg.
This patch is an adaptation of commit 3d0be94f62fd ("staging: rtl8188eu:
ctrl vendor req index is not used") for the new r8188eu driver.

At the moment, usbctrl_vendorreq's requesttype parameter must be set to
1 for reading and 0 for writing. It's then converted to the actual
bmRequestType for the USB control request. We can simplify the code and
avoid this conversion if the caller passes the actual bmRequestType.
This patch is an adaptation of commit 788fde031027 ("staging: rtl8188eu:
use actual request type as parameter") for the new r8188eu driver.

Many defined constants in wifi.h are unused and/or available from
<linux/ieee80211.h>, some with slightly different names. Remove
the constants from ieee80211.h and wifi.h and use the common ones. Rename where
necessary.
Set the pipe for reading or writing in usbctrl_vendorreq only once.
There's no need to set it again for every retry.
This patch is an adaptation of commit 889ed8b5e374 ("staging: rtl8188eu:
set pipe only once") for the new r8188eu driver.

The bRequest value for the vendor specific control requests sent by this

Remove the function _rtw_zvmalloc from os_dep/osdep_service.c, as this
function is now unused and is just an inline wrapper around vmalloc
which zeroes out the memory. All previous callers have been converted to
use vzalloc. Also remove the declaration from include/osdep_service.h.
It is considered generally bad practice to declare functions as inline in
the majority of cases, as not only can this qualifier be ignored by the
compiler but the compiler generally makes good decisions about inlining
anyway.

Convert all rtw_zvmalloc calls within the driver to use the existing
kernel vzalloc function, which has the same semantics. Also rewrite the
two places where it is mentioned in comments to say vzalloc, and remove
the redundant cast to struct adapter * in ./os_dep/usb_intf.c as vzalloc
returns void *.
The reason for the conversion is that rtw_zvmalloc is just a
preprocessor definition for _rtw_zvmalloc which itself is just an inline
wrapper around vmalloc which then zeroes the memory out. As vzalloc does
the same thing via usage of __GFP_ZERO, this code is redundant and can
subsequently be removed.

Remove the function _rtw_vmalloc from os_dep/osdep_service.c, converting
its only user (also in os_dep/osdep_service.c) to use plain vmalloc.
This function is just an inline wrapper around vmalloc which returns a u8
pointer, which isn't needed. Also remove the declaration from
include/osdep_service.h.
It is considered generally bad practice to declare functions as inline in
the majority of cases, as not only can this qualifier be ignored by the
compiler but the compiler generally makes good decisions about inlining

Convert the only call to rtw_vmalloc in os_dep/ioctl_linux.c to the
kernel's existing vmalloc function, as rtw_malloc is just a preprocessor
definition for _rtw_vmalloc. The _rtw_vmalloc function is defined inline
and returns a u8, wrapping standard vmalloc. This behaviour is not necessary.

Looking at the error function as a whole, the error handling is odd
compared to the rest of the kernel, which prefers to set error codes on
goto paths, rather than a global "status" variable which determines the
error code at the end of the function and function calls in the case of
error.
Rearrange the error handling of this function to bring it more inline
with how the kernel does it in most cases, which helps readability.

Use the IW_HANDLER macro to declare the handler functions for
wext ioctls. We don't have to skip unused ioctl numbers manually.
The same modification was applied to the deprecated rtl8188eu driver in
commit af249fce390f ("staging: rtl8188eu: use IW_HANDLER to declare wext
handlers").
