The rt5572sta driver (DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022) isn't
completely 64 bit stable. The attached patch makes rt5572sta working
with 64bit kernels even when used with a bridge like mentioned above.

The patch is derived from
https://github.com/ashaffer/rt3573sta/commit/2654eaee416f238a6651465c88a804ee251afe74
- there it was applied to rt3573 driver from Ralink / Mediatek.

I applied and tested it for rt5572sta (which is the newer one and
supports a lot more chips, amongst others rt3573) and kernel 3.13.6 / 64
bit. I suppose it to work with 3.10.x, too.


I detected, that bridging does not work with 3.14.x - but there is no
crash - it just doesn't work (packages came in in eth0, go through the
bridge and vxlan, are remotely answered, but the sent response can only
be seen in the vxlan and br0 device - but it can't be seen in eth0 -
strange).
