OK. This include is/was necessary for the rt2x00debug_dump_frame call.
So this may be handled with your next issue.

Yes, I wasn't too happy about this part about the patch, but couldn't
find a better solution. The problem is that with the patch the frame
cannot be dumped before the call to write_beacon, as the descriptor
hasn't been set up yet. Also, it cannot be dumped after the call to
write_beacon as most of the write_beacon functions actually free the
skb with the beacon.
So, I ran out of ideas as to how to keep rt2x00debug only inside
rt2x00lib. I'm open for suggestions, though.
