James A Shackleford fdfbf7890d staging: rtl8712: remove wrapper function list_insert_tail
list_insert_tail is just an inline wrapper around list_add_tail.  This
patch removes the wrapper and directly uses list_add_tail.

Vitaly Osipov bd9dc62c36 staging: rtl8712: replace kmalloc(..., sizeof(T))
As suggested by Andy Shevchenko on driverdev-devel, replace
v = ... sizeof(struct type_of_v) -> sizeof(*v)

Based on a cocci patch along the lines of

@@
type T;
expression E;
identifier V;
@@

T *V;
...
- V = kmalloc(sizeof(T), E);
+ V = kmalloc(sizeof(*V), E);

@@
type T;

T *V;
...
- V = kzalloc(sizeof(T), E);
+ V = kzalloc(sizeof(*V), E);

Vitaly Osipov 91d435fe36 staging: rtl8712: remove _malloc()
This patch removes all usage of _malloc() and the function itself. Most
uses are straightforward replacements by kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC),
because this was the definition of _malloc(). In a few places it
was possible to use kzalloc() or memdup_user.

A further improvement would be to replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL
where possible.

Verified by compilation only.

Initial replacement done by running a Coccinelle script along the lines
of:

@@
type T;
expression E;
identifier V;
@@
- V = (T) _malloc(E);
+ V = kmalloc(E, GFP_ATOMIC);

@@
expression E, E1;
@@
- E1 = _malloc(E);
+ E1 = kmalloc(E, GFP_ATOMIC);

Larry Finger 86587b671b staging: r8712u: Simplify semaphores
I am preparing to convert this driver from semaphore to mutex locking,
The first step has been to eliminate a number of semaphores that were
initialized but never used, and one whose only use was a single "up"
after initialization. A total of 9 semaphores were removed in this process.

One other change was to remove some inline semaphore routines that were
unused.

In addition, several cases had the following structure:

down()
if () {
   ...
}
up()

The locking overhead was reduced by moving the up/down inside the if
block.

Larry Finger 2865d42c78 staging: r8712u: Add the new driver to the mainline kernel
This code is for a completely new version of the Realtek 8192 USB devices
such as the D-Link DWA-130. The Realtek code, which was originally for
Linux, Windows XP and Windows CE, has been stripped of all code not needed
for Linux. In addition, only one additional configuration variable, which
enables AP mode, remains.
