[ Upstream commit ac5951a6e3d50cfa861ea83baa2ec15d994389cb ]

Remove rtw_wx_set_rate handler function, which currently handles the
SIOCSIWRATE wext ioctl. This function (although containing a lot of
code) set nothing outside its own local variables, and did nothing other
than call a now removed debugging statement repeatedly. Removing it and
leaving its associated entry in rtw_handlers as NULL is therefore the
better option. Removing this function also fixes a kernel test robot
warning.

This whole driver is now gone in 5.15-rc1, so no need for doing anything
like this for older kernels. Please drop this patch from all branches.

Dropped, thanks!
