No you didn't do what you are saying.

Julia commented on patch 1/3. You should either reply that everything is 
correct (if it is) or fix your patch. Please don't send new versions that 
don't change anything and don't ignore comments (mine included).

This patch introduces errors. You haven't compiled this module, otherwise 
you would have noticed that. Always compile your changes (preferably with 
CONFIG_WERROR set). 

Please read the output of git-grep:

[fabio@...ux]$ git grep backupPMKIDList drivers/staging/rtl8712
drivers/staging/rtl8712/mlme_linux.c:  static struct RT_PMKID_LIST 
backupPMKIDList[NUM_PMKID_CACHE];
drivers/staging/rtl8712/mlme_linux.c:           memcpy(&backupPMKIDList[0],
drivers/staging/rtl8712/mlme_linux.c:                  &backupPMKIDList[0],

Can you see how patch 1/3 introduces errors?
