Hi Greg,

This series imports the latest RTL8192E driver from Realtek.
The driver is more similar to drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi's
structure, and it should be migrated into rtlwifi eventually.

Does this duplicate any existing driver in the kernel tree so that we
end up with multiple drivers trying to control the same hardware?

No, there is a duplicate PCI ID between this driver and rtl8192se in mainline; however, both drivers use the PCI version to select the correct device.

This contribution removes an older version of r8192e_pci. There will be no conflicts.
