This reverts commit d86e64768859fca82c78e52877ceeba04e25d27a.
For drivers rtl8188ee, rtl8192ce, rtl8192ee, rtl8723ae, and rtl8821ae,
the Coccinelle script missed the fact that the code changes the firmware
name. When that happens, the kernel issues a BUG splat because
it is unable to overwrite the old name.
Although this bug only affects 5 of the 8 drivers it touched, I decided to
revert the entire patch. Continuing to constantify the other three could
too easily lead to introduction of future bugs.
Fixes: d86e64768859 ("rtlwifi: rtl818x: constify local structures")

Kalle,
My apologies for letting these bugs to get by my review and testing. As
they affect kernel 4.8, please push this patch as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Larry
