Dear Mark,

Thank you for your e-mail - not sure what is going on here as the
r8188eu files are totally new - the net-next commit is touching files
from a different directory (rtl8188eu) so perhaps it is getting
confused and considering it a rename or similar? Regardless, all
commits for r8188eu subdirectory should come from staging, as it is a
different driver.

Regards,
Phil
