Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rt2x00: zero-out rx_status
In commit 'mac80211: support radiotap vendor namespace RX data'
new fields were added to 'struct ieee80211_rx_status'.
The rt2x00 driver does not initializes those fields and
this can cause unexpected behaviour.
The rt2x00 driver from the compat-wireless-2012-12-01
tarball caused the following warning:

The patch ensures that each field gets initialized with
zeroes.
