rtl818x is not active. You can actually check that yourself: git log drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/
Note MAINTAINERS marks drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8180 as orphaned but drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8187 as maintained.
I want to also mention that the maintainers are not really enthusiastic about random cleanups to random drivers from new contributors, they increase our workload and there's always a risk of regressions. I try to be nice and take few cleanups now and then, but if there's too much such patches I'll start to back off. Instead random cleanups I would be very happy to see these issues fixed in wireless drivers: o removal of strlcpy() o fixing sparse warnings (my goal is to have wireless drivers sparse warning free) o removal of BUG_ON() (no wireless driver should use BUG_ON() which crashes the whole system)
Got your point, thanks. Dmitry
