Good eye for spotting this bug. :)

Really this function is not useful though so we should just delete it.
All the CONFIG_INTEL_WIDI stuff is dead code.

Also if copy_from_user() the correct error code is -EFAULT. And we
would normally write it like this:

if (copy_from_user((void *)&u32wps_start, pdata->pointer, 4)) {
ret = -EFAULT;
goto exit;
}

But in this case, since this is dead code we should just delete
rtw_wps_start() and put a NULL in the rtw_private_handler[] array where
it used to be.
