To me it is not important which commit introduced the struct. This is 
not a bug. So I would omit this lines and use instead just:
Remove struct zero_bulkout_context as it is unused.

Hi David,

I would prefer the following changes:
Subject: please change from r8712u which is the compiled driver name to 
folder name of the driver: rtl8712

Please also consider the above hints.

If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change 
history. Description from Dan under:
https://staticthinking.wordpress.com/2022/07/27/how-to-send-a-v2-patch/

Please contact me for any questions.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
