addition, a new driver for the RTL8188EE chip is added to the kernel.
Note: These patches do not upgrade rtl8192de. Those changes will be sent

rtl8188e isn't very kernel stylish.
Looking at it briefly, in fact it's kind of ugly.
Could/should it go into staging?
It is uglier than I had hoped. I was not quite ready to push it yet, but I got
some pressure from outside, non-Realtek, sources that a kernel version was
needed. They will, in fact, start their integration from the RFC/RFT version.
The main problem with having it in staging is that we will either have to
include headers from drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/, or duplicate them in the
drivers/staging/rtl8188ee/ directory where keeping them compatible will be a
hassle. Neither solution sounds optimum to me.
