I'm getting slightly annoyed that we now apparently have two duplicate
rtlwifi drivers (with the same name!) and I'm being spammed by staging
patches. Was this really a smart thing to do? And what will be the

(Of course this is not directed to Dan, he is just fixing bugs found by
smatch, but more like a general question.)
