Phillip Potter 6506cd9f3a staging: r8188eu: add extra TODO entries
Add entry for CFG80211 to reflect that it is currently being worked on
and is a desirable feature to have for this driver. Leave entries for
LIB80211 and MAC80211 in case anyone else wishes to work on them - they
can always be removed later, but MAC80211 in particular would certainly
be good to aim for. Also, include an entry for improving error handling,
as this is another goal of the cleanup effort.

To-do list:
* Correct the coding style according to Linux guidelines; please read the document
at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html.
* Remove unnecessary debugging/printing macros; for those that are still needed
use the proper kernel API (pr_debug(), dev_dbg(), netdev_dbg()).
* Remove dead code such as unusued functions, variables, fields, etc..
* Use in-kernel API and remove unnecessary wrappers where possible.
* Fix bugs due to code that sleeps in atomic context.
* Remove the HAL layer and migrate its functionality into the relevant parts of
the driver.
* Switch to use LIB80211.
* Switch to use MAC80211.
* Switch to use CFG80211.
* Improve the error handling of various functions, particularly those that use
existing kernel APIs.
