As I'm currently working on cleaning up rtl8192u and see what can be done to merge the common code used by all those realtek drivers, I prefer to keep this driver for more time at the tree. The issue I'm currently facing is that we should rearrange the drivers/staging/rtl* into a common rtl component tree, moving the common components to there. This will avoid duplicated efforts to cleanup the same code several times, on different places. I started working on it this weekend, but I haven't finish it yet.
