_anything_ is better than a staging driver.
There are distributions that don't build staging drivers.
As a result, they force their users to build out-of-tree drivers!
So, please, replace and delete staging/rtl8712 with r92su.
You seem not to understand. Any new wireless driver that does not use mac80211
*must* go into staging. AFAIK, that rule is absolute, and r92su cannot go into
the regular wireless tree.
If you do not like having drivers for RTL8192SU in staging, then write one that
uses mac80211. You have access to as much information about the chips as anyone
outside Realtek. They have no interest in doing the mac80211 version, and I have
many other tasks with higher priority.
