There are a *lot* of massively long lines. This has been a learning experience. I wasn't sure how strict the rules for submissions were. There are other things besides line lengths that I want to fix in rtl8192u. Related to that, I just sent a 3rd version which includes fixes for these bool comparisons for the rest of the files in drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ Thanks so much for taking the time to review. Appreciated.
