Unrelated to this particular patchset, but we've long said how rt*
drivers are a source of huge amounts of duplicate code.

I just diffed rt2400pci and rt2500pci just for example and noticed that
the hardware is basically identical except for the added features. After
cutting out spurious changes the diff is about 150 lines so it should be
really simple to support the hw in one driver. It'd be great if you
could do this, the code duplication currently in there is pretty awkward
if we change anything externally and need to update 5 almost-identical
drivers.
