The r8188eu driver requires a firmware file, the path of which was hardcoded as constant strings in two places: (1) in core/rtw_fw.c, in function load_firmware(), (2) in os_dep/os_intfs.c, in the MODULE_FIRMWARE() call. Declare the path using a macro, FW_RTL8188EU, and replace the above constant strings with the macro. That's the way it is done in many other drivers. The new macro is defined in include/drv_types.h, because that file is already included by both of the above files (or at least their headers) and because it already contains other driver constants, like its name and version.
