Ah, sorry. I had missed that you were asking for a re-write (literally).

Here it is a sort of diff on Vihas' patch:

- [PATCH v2 1/7] staging: r8188eu: drop unnecessary wrapper _rtw_free_cmd_priv
+ [PATCH v2 1/7] staging: r8188eu: drop unnecessary helper _rtw_free_cmd_priv()

- Drop unnecessary wrapper _rtw_free_cmd_priv and move its logic to
- rtw_free_cmd_priv.
+ Drop unnecessary helper (wrapped function) _rtw_free_cmd_priv() and
+ move its code to the wrapper rtw_free_cmd_priv().
