    Fix nomenclature for USB and PCI wireless devices
    
    A mouse that uses a USB connection is called a "USB mouse" device (or
    "USB mouse" for short), not a "mouse USB" device.  By analogy, a WiFi
    adapter that connects to the host computer via USB is a "USB wireless"
    device, not a "wireless USB" device.  (The latter term more properly
    refers to a defunct Wireless USB specification, which described a
    technology for sending USB protocol messages over an ultra wideband
    radio link.)
    
    Similarly for a WiFi adapter card that plugs into a PCIe slot: It is a
    "PCIe wireless" device, not a "wireless PCIe" device.
    
    Rephrase the text in the kernel source where the word ordering is
    wrong.
