Given that that rtl8187se support has already been merged mainline (for
3.15-rc1) into the existing rtl8180 (soon to be renamed to rtl818x) 
driver, wouldn't it make more sense to remove 
drivers/staging/rtl8187se/ rather than trying to fixing it?

commit 1eba648f998ef9c31b8cf062754a4a7b4ab9001f
Author: Andrea Merello <andrea.merello@...il.com>

    rtl8180: enable rtl8187se support
    
    Finally make rtl8187se works (hopefylly).
    This patch adds PCI ID for rtl8187, updates copyright notes and
    updates MODULE_DESCRIPTION.
