Subject: [PATCH v6 00/19] staging: r8188eu: Shorten and simplify calls chains
io_ops abstraction is useless in this driver, since there is only one ops
registration. Without io_ops we can get rid of indirect calls mess and
shorten the calls chain.
Shorten the calls chain of rtw_read8/16/32() down to the actual reads.
For this purpose unify the three usb_read8/16/32 into the new
usb_read(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_read() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_recv() API of USB Core.
Shorten the calls chain of rtw_write8/16/32() down to the actual writes.
For this purpose unify the four usb_write8/16/32/N() into the new
usb_write(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_write() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_send() API of USB Core.
The code with the modifications was thoroughly tested by Pavel Skripkin
using a TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 / v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS] and by Fabio M.
De Francesco using a ASUSTek Computer, Inc. Realtek 8188EUS [USB-N10 Nano].
Changelog:
v5->v6:
- 1-14:
Minimal changes to patch subjects to achieve consistent
style;
- 15:
Fix a mistake in the checks of values returned by

- 1-14:
No changes;
- 15-16:
Fix minor formatting issues and use "Reverse Xmas Tree" style,
according to suggestions by David Laight and Dan Carpenter;
- 17-18:
Pavel Skripkin found logical errors in the checks of the
values returned by usb_control_msg_{recv,send}(), so fix them;
Dan Carpenter suggested to do error handling before success
handling, so change the code accordingly;
- 19:
Add this patch in order to get rid of the shared buffer in
usb_read() and usb_write() and remove this field from struct
"dvobj_priv".
v3->v4:
- 1-14:
Split a patch into fourteen;
- 15-16:
Add these patches for clean-ups of the code that is going to be
reused in 17-18/18;
- 17-18:
Make some changes according to a first review of Greg
Kroah-Hartman; furthermore, remove the unnecessary while loop
and a couple of if' test; handle the errors returned by
usb_control_msg_recv().

- 1-2:
No changes;
- 3:
Fix the version number of the patch.
v1->v2:
- 1-2:
No changes;
- 3:
Replace parameter REALTEK_USB_VENQT_READ with REALTEK_USB_VENQT_WRITE
in usb_control_msg_send().
