Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] staging: r8188eu: fix and clean up some firmware code

This series fixes wrong size of struct rt_firmware_hdr in the first
patch and does some cleanups in rtl8188e_firmware_download() in the
other patches.

Tested on x86_64 with Inter-Tech DMG-02.

v4:
- Keep the in-line comments of struct rt_firmware_hdr.

v3:
- Splitted the first patch into two separate patches.
- Added back logging the firmware version only once.
- Included the compile time check for size of rt_firmware_hdr from
  patch 8/8 of v2 in the patch that replaces the hardcoded size.

v2:
- Added a patch to check size of struct rt_firmware_hdr at compile time.

Michael Straube (8):
