Do I need to split the four files into four patches?

They're not meaningful, so I'll delete them.

The variables coex_dm/coex_sta/rfe_type should move to struct btcoexist, but
other btcoex files also use this style. So, my plan is to keep static variables
in this patch, and use another patch to remove all of them. Since this takes
a little time to discuss with our btcoex guys, could I send patches 12-15 first?
The version related variables are used to display in debug message, so they
work on multiple devices.
