Like I said earlier in rtl8xxxu review, I don't want to have two drivers
supporting the same device. So either rtl8xxxu or rtlwifi supports the
devices above, not both. And to my knowledge rtl8xxxu is still lacking
in features, and it's a new driver, so it's best that rtlwifi continues
to support these for the time being. Once rtl8xxxu catches up and we
have a clear consensus we can make the switch.

I'll send a patch in a jiffy, merge window is getting closer so we don't
have any extra time.

Heh, having hilarious problems with my patch:

     550 5.7.1 Content-Policy reject msg: The capital Triple-X in subject is way
     too often associated with junk email, please rephrase.

The subject was:

Subject: [PATCH] rtl8xxxu: move devices supported by rtlwifi under
  CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED

This seems a reasonable workaround for now.

Next time just add some extra buzzwords to the subject line and I am
sure it will go through :)

Well, when you try to send porn, the system will complain. :)

I agree that this is a sensible workaround.
