When I deleted the file, the patch applied. Patch 5/7 fails with a drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/hal_data.h: already exists in working directory. Again it applied when I manually deleted that file. Patches 2-6 all have trailing whitespace warnings. I have started testing. Unfortunately, my GitHub version has a fault in that it runs systemd-udevd at 100% of a CPU. So far, I have found that an older commit works fine. As soon as I find the fault, I will let you know.
