We're not done with it yet, this is still work in progress. If you want
to compare it to what it was before, try this:

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au.git

[jes@...rasam rtl8723au]$ git diff cd93a4ae4151d69e9d198d8d4b3ef95c0e7714b6..kernel_version | diffstat -s
 207 files changed, 58354 insertions(+), 129109 deletions(-)

It'll get even 'smaller' :)
