I had to break this patchset up a bit to get around the file size limits

userspace related and therefore not required.
The driver currently in staging is older and less functional than the
version on Larry Finger's GitHub account, branch v5.2.2.4. This series
of patches therefore:
(1) Removes the current driver from staging.
(2) Imports the GitHub version mentioned above in its place.
There is plenty of work to do to this driver, including to its Makefile,
but it is at least buildable/usable for now.

Phillip,
Patch 3/7 fails with a
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/hal/phydm_precomp.h: already exists in error:
working directory. When I deleted the file, the patch applied.
Patch 5/7 fails with a drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/hal_data.h: already
exists in working directory. Again it applied when I manually deleted that file.
Patches 2-6 all have trailing whitespace warnings.
I have started testing. Unfortunately, my GitHub version has a fault in that it
runs systemd-udevd at 100% of a CPU. So far, I have found that an older commit
works fine. As soon as I find the fault, I will let you know.
Larry
