[v2,0/3] Constify struct lib80211_crypto_ops

Message

This serie constify struct lib80211_crypto_ops. This sutructure is
mostly some function pointers, so having it in a read-only section
when possible is safer.


The 1st patch, update some function prototypes and data structures in
lib80211.

The 2nd patch constifies some struct lib80211_crypto_ops in lib80211.
This moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall
security.

The 3rd patch does the same for staging/rtl8192e.

Note that the functions have looked in staging/rtl8192e look really
similar to the ones in lib80211. Maybe it could be removed in favor of
the latter.


Each patch in the serie has been compile tested only.


Changes in v2:
  - patch 1: Update ipw2x00/libipw_wx.c as well   [Simon Horman]
  - patch 2, 3 : no changes
