    rtl8180: prepare to handle more than two chip types · 6caefd12
    Andrea Merello authored
    Currently a "r8185" integer variable is used as a boolean flag to
    indicate whether the card is a rtl8185 or not.
    Since now the driver supports only rtl8185 and rtl8180 cards, if
    "r8185" variable is zero then the card is implicitly assumed to
    be a rtl8180.
    
    Now I'm preparing to add support for a third card type (rtl8187se).
    
    This patch changes the "r8185" flag with an enum variable to
    explicitly indicate which card type we have.
    
    I'm submitting this this patch now, even if I still have to submit
    other patches that not pertain with rtl8187se support, because
    IMHO it's not worth rebasing them on the current code, using r8185
    flag, and then changing them back again nearly immediately.
    BTW if someone feels I really should do this, please tell me..
