Subject: Re: [PATCH RESEND] Staging: rtl8188eu: fix double unlock

Why is it a RESEND?

RESEND is a bit rude because it implies that we messed up by ignoring
your first email so you're sending us the exact same thing again.
Sometimes rudeness is valid if people are ignoring good patches but you
send the first email 4 minutes before sending the second email.

No need for this, we can get it from your email.

This patch is probably correct, but it's a bit risky without testing or
further analysis.  Please explain how you verified that it won't cause
a deadlock.
