[PATCH 0/19] rtl8192e: Cleanup & refactoring

[Mike McCormack <mikem@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

The following patch series is a further cleanup of the rtl8192e driver.
Most patches delete code in some way, with the following exceptions:

[3/19] rtl8192e: Use private structure in IO functions

Start replacing references to net_device with r8192_priv so
converting to use mac80211 will be easier.

[10/19] rtl8192e: Don't call ieee80211_ps_tx_ack in interrupt context

Avoiding calling into the ieee80211 library in an interrupt context
means we can avoid spin_lock_irqsave/restore in many places.

I've been working on trying to make the rtl8192's ieee80211 library 
interface look more like the kernel's mac80211 with the goal of
dropping the customized 80211 library.

thanks,

Mike
