Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] *** rtl8712: Replace semaphores with mutex / completions ***

Hi,

These are a set of patches [v2] which removes semaphores from:

drivers/staging/rtl8712

They build correctly (individually and as a whole).
NB: I have not tested this as I do not have the following hardware:

"RealTek RTL8712U (RTL8192SU) Wireless LAN NIC driver"

Rework on comments w.r.t. PATCH v1:

 - Removed wrapper functions _wait_completion, _down_sema and _enter_pwrlock
 - Updated changelog to explain use of mutex_lock instead of
   mutex_lock_interruptible in [PATCH v2 4/4]
