There are at least three problems with this patch. The first is that your 
subject is really awful. You need to say that you are fixing a checkpatch 
warning, and then say exactly what is happening. The second probalm also 
concerns the subject, which needs to specify what component is being changed. 
For drivers in staging, the usual way to do this is to start the subject line 
with "staging: rtl8723au: ...". The third problem is that you should fix *ALL* 
the problems with a given line whenever you touch it. That line is clearly over 
the 80-character limit.

NACK

Larry
