Subject: [PATCH 1/3] staging: rtl8192e: Avoid multiple line dereference

Avoid multiple line dereference to make the code more readable, as
suggested by checkpatch.pl

This patch fixes the following checkpatch.pl warning:

    prefer 'priv->rtllib->swcamtable[4].key_buf[0]'
  FILE: ./rtl8192e/rtl8192e/rtl_cam.c:189

These changes cause some of the lines to cross 80 characters however I
believe that they improve the readability and provide a good trade off.
Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on this.
