The chip? Yes, it belongs to the same family as far as I can tell.
[In fact I have a device with a 8188SU chip too]

This is probably something Larry has to answer. r8712u seems to
be a "cleaned-up" version of r8192s_usb (which is/was the
vendor driver?).

rtl8192su will make use of the rtlwifi framework [which is already
used by the drivers for rtl8192cu/ce/se/de...]. So it won't have
much in common with r8712u.

Well, this is getting confusing ;)
Can you explain what you want reverted?
