Subject: [PATCH 00/16] staging:rtl8192u: Proxy Structures?

This series of patches contains coding style changes.

There is one type of change, proxy structures, which whilst not flagged
by checkpatch, as an issue, I have changed. I can't see the purpose of
defining a structure, in this case arrays, and then using a #define to
name the structure something else.

This may well be a pattern which I'm not familiar with, in which case
the patches can be rejected, and I'll have learned something, but I thought
I'd better explicitly mention it, as I'm assuming that there is not actual
point to the practice.

Apart from that all the rest are simple coding style changes.
