Description

This PR fixes EXTRAWIFI=no compilation when uwe5622 driver and rockchip64 family is involved.

The error was due to the fact that uwe5622 driver has been moved in misc patch directory some time ago, but a custom patch was left into family kernel patches to adapt the driver to rockchip64 platform. EXTRAWIFI=no would not patch the kernel to include the driver, but the custom patch was still applied since it was present as kernel patch and that would cause a failure.

With this PR, the custom rockchip patch has been moved into misc directory as well and it is applied selectively in code, so EXTRAWIFI=no works correctly. Also uwe5622 related patches are moved into an wireless-uwe5622 subdirectory to tidy up a bit the misc directory

Jira reference number AR-1925
