The original reason why we added CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED back in the
day was so that we would not have two drivers supporting the same
hardware. Though I don't know how much the kconfig helped with that but
at least the conflicts were somehow documented.
Now that rtl8xxxu has matured and gained more features, I would really
like the idea of removing rtl8192cu driver. Of course we should make
sure that we are not accidentally removing any devices support, for
example I was not able to find this device in rtl8xxxu:
{RTL_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_REALTEK, 0x817c, rtl92cu_hal_cfg)},
I will submit a patch to add this device, and check the vendor driver to see if
there are any devices that were missed in the rtlwifi driver, but that can wait
until I remove rtl8192cu, which has to wait until rtl8xxxu can support AP mode
on the devices. When that happens, I will resubmit the patch for the removal of
CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED as part of a 3-patch series.
