This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: refresh TODO for rtl8712
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: refresh TODO for rtl8712
People should not waste time and energy working on this staging driver. At least four drivers were written for this hardware:

And there is a replacement using the kernel wireless stack at:

Also a fullmac/cfg80211 driver(r92su) is available.
