Yes, this is exactly what I started to do this morning :)
I'm preparing a patchseries where I extracting fixes or improvements
unrelated to rtl8187se, including pci_map_single fixes

Yes, this is also my plan :)

Ok, I have reviewed all your advices.
I agree with them.
I also commended the ones where you asked something about.

Thank you a lot for your review!

It's for rtl8187se.
That card uses more queues to enable WMM

Yes, the old driver uses ieee80211_stop_queue and ieee80211_wake_queue
on the beacon queue, that is indeed handled in the driver and not by
ieee80211
This one of the things that I will include in patches for
rtl8180/rtl8185 fixes before merging real rtl8187se code

No, this is the aux function that does the real work, but should not
be called directly in the driver code, as rtl8180_write_phy() should
be called.
Maybe I have to move the underscore at the beginning of the name.

I agree. Will do.

Because that marks the descriptor as good for the NIC to be processed.
I suppose a wmb() is needed before this line to ensure it is the last written
and another wmb() is needed to ensure that the descriptor is fully
written before polling the NIC for performing DMA (I think that,
depending by the situation, the HW may wait for this register write on
not).

This function is switched off by a #if 0
It will be not included yet, and I have to review it, so it might change.
BTW I will certainly consider your advices
