Due to a recent update in the code, CONFIG_RTL8821AU=m is the expected
kernel configuration environment variable to be set, not
CONFIG_RTL8812AU_8821AU=m as was previously set.
Presently the package does effectively nothing.

Includes numerous stablity and cleanup passes by ulli-kroll.
A hash file is also added, as it was missing before.

This patch updates rtl8821au to include an upstream commit which
disables debug output, unless a runtime insmod parameter debug=level
is passed when loading the module. This makes the old buildroot patch
to remove hardcoded debug defines unnecessary: as such, it has been
removed.

This patch adds the rtl8821au wifi driver. The driver is sourced from
ulli-kroll's work on GitHub, which includes various fixes and better LED
handling. Currently USB3 support is broken in this driver - it will
only connect to the EHCI controller in a USB3 port.
