Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit bigger
than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy and
mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new developers
sending in their first changes, which is nice to see.
Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the rtl8192u
wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was maintaining
them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using it anymore,
and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger effort to remove
unused and old wifi drivers from the system.
The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was dropped,
and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out what tree
it will come back in from and who will be responsible for it, and if it
really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in a network
subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure yet.
Other smaller changes in here are:
- Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by
the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough
shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's
getting close.
- rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and structures
- vme_user coding style cleanups
- other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers
- octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was
found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver
to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches it.)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

No significant improvements have been done to this driver since commit
a7c3ddf29a ("staging: qlge: clean up debugging code in the QL_ALL_DUMP
ifdef land") in January 2021. The driver should not stay in staging
forever. Since it has been abandoned by the vendor and no one has stepped
up to maintain it, delete it.
If some users manifest themselves, the driver will be restored to
drivers/net/ as suggested in the linked message.

The COPS Appletalk support is very old, never said to actually work
properly, and the firmware code for the devices are under a very suspect
license. Remove it all to clear up the license issue, if it is still
needed and actually used by anyone, we can add it back later once the
license is cleared up.

Looks like all the changes to this driver had been automated
churn since git era begun. The driver is using virt_to_bus(),
it's just a maintenance burden unlikely to have any users.

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.
While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.
