Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.
While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.

at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory

Variables len, ret, reason and crypt are assigned values that
are never read, hence they are redundant and can be removed.
Note: For the variable ret, a return code is being assigned, but
this is not returned and 0 is currently being returned, I believe
this is OK.

The ipw2x00 driver family uses get_seconds() to read the current time
for various purposes. This function is deprecated because of the 32-bit
time_t overflow, and it can cause unexpected behavior when the time
changes due to settimeofday() calls or leap second updates.
In many cases, we want to use monotonic time instead, however ipw2x00
explicitly tracks the time spent in suspend, so this changes the
driver over to use ktime_get_boottime_seconds(), which is slightly
slower, but not used in a fastpath here.

Causes the PCI stack to complain, and then eventually call the

tries to unregister an already-released netdev and other nasty
things, leading to a panic.
