Ok, so if I was to work on one of the drivers, I should continue with
the one under staging, isn't it? Because, let's say I would have some
spare time to invest somewhere, I could port the driver to use mac80211,
maybe with some support. I'd prefer to do it only once... on the good
driver.

Good afternoon,
I was playing in r8712u because I wanted to send a patch to
conditionally
silence a flooding netdev_info(). But then I found out on
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl819x that r8712u was
to be
replaced by r92su.
From its git tree, it seems no commit were added since 4 months ago.
Could
someone tell me in what shape is this new driver? Is there any plan
to merge it
(under staging I suppose) soon?
As nothing has happened with that GitHub account for several months,
my guess is that it will not be merged any time soon.
It would make little sense to replace one staging driver (r8712u) with
a different one. The only thing that makes sense is for it to use
mac80211 and be merged in the regular drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi tree.
