description is wrong

<message id="166" name="RADIO">
<description>Status generated by radio.</description>
<superseded since="2013-06" replaced_by="RADIO_STATUS"/>
<description>Status generated by radio. Do not use this message, ArduPilot has mis-interpreted the txbuf field in this message for a very long time.</description>

Can be merged with tjust the field description change and the superseded line

ArduPilot considers the txbuf field in the way RADIO_STATUS, not the way RADIO has it.
we looked at the SiK source code - this packet is just the same as RADIO for this field.

the SiK source code just chooses to send one of the other depending on whether it has seen a mavlink1 or a mavlink2 packet
