rtl8xxxu is a really bad name.

Right, the driver covers USB devices, hence the u at the end of the name. As I posted elsewhere, I intend to add support for other rtl8xxx USB chips, hence the 8xxx name.

What is your issue?

How many kinds of chips will support ?

The potential list of USB chips includes RTL8192DU, RTL8723BU, RTL8812AU, and RTL8188EU. In addition, the SDIO chips RTL8723AS and RTL8723BS might fit under this umbrella.
