e922df7d3e Staging: rtl8712: Eliminate use of _init_timer
This patch introduces the use of API function setup_timer
instead of driver specific function _init_timer as it is
the preferred and standard way to setup and set the timer.
To be compatible with the change, argument types of
referenced functions are changed. Also, definition of
function _init_timer is removed as it is no longer needed
after this change.

This is done using Coccinelle and semantic patch used for
this is as follows:

@@ expression x, y; identifier a, b;@@

- _init_timer (&x, y, a, b);
+ setup_timer (&x, a, (unsigned long)b);

c703c750cc Staging: rtl8712: Eliminate use of _set_timer
This patch introduces the use of API function mod_timer
instead of driver specific function _set_timer as it is
a more efficient and standard way to update the expire
field of an active timer. Also, definition of function
_set_timer is removed as it is no longer needed after
this change.

Here, these cases are handled using Coccinelle and
semantic patch used for this is as follows:

@@ expression x; expression y;@@

- _set_timer (&x, y);
+ mod_timer (&x, jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies (y));

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);

0fb3321321 rtl8712: remove useless calls to memset().
These calls are followed by calls to memcpy() on the same memory area, so they
can be safely removed.

8b7a13c3f4 staging: r8712u: Fix possible buffer overrun
In routine r8712_report_sec_ie(), the code could set the length
of the buffer to 256; however, that value is one larger than the
corresponding memory allocation.

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.
