The rtl8723bs is found on quite a few systems used by Linux users,

the CHIP.
The plan moving forward with this is for the new clean,
written from scratch, rtl8xxxu driver to eventually gain
support for sdio devices. But there is no clear timeline
for that, so lets add this driver included in staging for now.

Hans,
I am still building the driver on my CherryTrail tablet, but I did see some
warnings and errors listed by Smatch as follows:
[snip]
The indent problems can probably be ignored, but many of the others are
serious enough to be addressed now.
Once this driver is merged into staging, the Outreachy folks will be really busy.
Thanks for posting this driver,
So, no objection from you? Great, I'll go queue it up later today...
thanks,

As much as I hate adding more Realtek vendor code to the kernel, I do
agree this is the right thing to do in the interim. Not sure when I'll
get to SDIO support in rtl8xxxu, but I will process patches, hint hint :)
