We are used to handling the traffic.  Heh.  Don't worry about us.  ;)

I don't actually run static analysis on staging patches until they hit
linux-next, I only review the mailing list patches manually.  My review
process is built around mailing lists so creating a special process for
rtl8723au makes my life harder instead of easier.  Every subsystem has a
review process, it's not that we are treating you unfairly by asking you
to send your patches for review.

Btw, Greg doesn't rebase the staging tree so, once a patch is merged,
then it means it will hit mainline.  At that point, it is too late to
send a second version of the patch.

You should be running Sparse yourself as part of your own QC tests
before submitting patches to review.  http://lwn.net/Articles/205624/
It is a normal minimum requirement along with checkpatch.pl.
