One more thing I would like suggestion how can start switching this

would like to know the start point  from where I can start doing small
changes.

If you don't understand the wireless stack, I suggest you do some
research on it first, converting a driver to the in-kernel stack is a
_very_ difficult thing and not something that someone without any
experience in this area is going to be able to do easily.

I second this suggestion. Your skill level is not nearly sufficient for this sort of task. Note that there is a group working on driver rtl8192su, which should be able to replace rtl8712u. The participants are very highly skilled wireless developers; however, they are having trouble. The internals of the Realtek chips are not revealed to anyone in any form other than the code they release.
