Subject: [PATCH 0/3 for 3.18] rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Patches to fix the regression reported in Bug #88951

These three patches are needed to fix a regression in kernel 3.18 that is
reported in Bug #88951. I hate to be the guy with the last-minute fixes;
however, this regression reminded me of the children's game called Whack-a-mole.
Whenever I thought that I had found the problem, the bug popped up elsewhere.
Finally I am coinfident that I have fixed the problem.

Fortunately, the patches are all fairly small, and they are self-contained within
a single driver. There are unlikely to be any unfavorable side effects.

If it is not possible to get these patches into 3.18, then mark them to be
backported to stable (3.18 only). That way they will be available in 3.18.1.
