Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: Remove function ..dm_check_ac_dc_power
 calling a script

Remove function _rtl92e_dm_check_ac_dc_power calling a script
/etc/acpi/wireless-rtl-ac-dc-power.sh that is not available. This script
is not part of the kernel and it is not available on the www. The result
is that this function is just dead code.

I found a hint in this blog about the content of the script:
https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/archives/eol-releases/-9-10/network-
support-ai/41269-realtek-lan-connection-timeout

If you know more about the purpose and the need for this script please
respond.

Tested with rtl8192e
Transferred this patch over wlan connection of rtl8192e
