next-20141023 does not work as well.

With commit 38506ecefab911785d5e1aa5889f6eeb462e0954 reverted, kernel
blows up very early in boot.

Cascardo (CC:) helped me to investigate and it seems that when
rtlpriv->cfg->ops->get_btc_status() is called, it is pointing to a NULL
function.

With the changes below, written by Cascardo, I could get rid of
oops/panic and system booted normally. But there was no wifi network
available (like if wifi card was disabled).
