The radios and macs are very similar (radios could actually be the same, not 
sure), with modifications to run on whatever bus they're on. That's why I'm 
going to be merging the rtl8180_rtl8225.c and rtl8187_rtl8225.c into a single 
piece of code. Besides that, rtl8187 != rtl8225 since rtl8187 is a mac and 
rtl8225 is a radio. Replacing rtl8225z2 with rtl8187 makes no sense but is 
okay temporarily to fix build issues in -mm.
