When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.
To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.
Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.
This patch annotates drivers in drivers/net/wireless/.

'register' is a keyword in C and cannot be used in place of a
variable name, as shown by this -Wextra warning:
drivers/net/wireless/cisco/airo.c:1105:29: error: 'register' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
This replaces the 'register' keyword with a 'reg' identifier in
the declaration, which matches the definition and has the intended
meaning.

I'm not sure if this can underflow but Smatch complains. It seems
harmless to add a check for negatives.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.
