This is a newer chip, similar to the RTL8710BU in that it uses the same
PHY status structs.
Features: 2.4 GHz, b/g/n mode, 2T2R, 300 Mbps.
It can allegedly have Bluetooth, but that's not implemented here.
This chip can have many RFE (RF front end) types, of which types 1
and 5 are the only ones tested. Many of the other types need different
initialisation tables. They can be added if someone wants them.
The vendor driver v5.8.6.2_35538.20191028_COEX20190910-0d02 from
https://github.com/BrightX/rtl8192fu was used as reference, with
additional device IDs taken from
https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8192fu-dkms.
The vendor driver also claims to support devices with ID 0bda:a725,
but that is found in some bluetooth-only devices, so it's not supported
here.

This chip is found in cheap "free driver" USB adapters from Aliexpress.
Initially they pretend to be a CD-ROM containing the driver for Windows.
"Ejecting" switches the device to wifi mode.
Features: 2.4 GHz, b/g/n mode, 1T1R, 150 Mbps.
This chip is more unique than other Realtek chips:
* The registers at addresses 0x0-0xff, which all the other chips use,
can't be used here. New registers at 0x8000-0x80ff must be used
instead. And it's not a simple matter of adding 0x8000: 0x2
(REG_SYS_FUNC) became 0x8004, 0x80 (REG_MCU_FW_DL) became 0x8090,
etc.
* Also there are a few new registers which must be accessed indirectly
because their addresses don't fit in 16 bits. No other chips seem to
have these.
* The vendor driver compiles to 8188gu.ko, but the code calls the chip
RTL8710B(U) pretty much everywhere, including messages visible to the
user.
Another difference compared to the other chips supported by rtl8xxxu is
that it has a new PHY status struct, or three of them actually, from
which we extract the RSSI, among other things. This is not unique,
though, just new. The chips supported by rtw88 also use it.

rtl8xxxu now unconditionally uses LEDS_CLASS, so a Kconfig dependency
is required to avoid link errors:

This chip is found in cheap USB devices from TP-Link, D-Link, etc.
Features: 2.4 GHz, b/g/n mode, 1T1R, 150 Mbps.
Chip versions older than "I cut" need software rate control. That will
be in the next commit. Until then MCS7 is used for all data frames.
The "I cut" chips are not supported. They require different firmware
and initialisation tables. Support can be added if someone has the
hardware to test it.

Make the title more future-proof, using rtw88 as a model.
Mention support for RTL8723BU, RTL8192EU, and RTL8188FU.
Correct the module name.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.
After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
rewrite this driver from the bottom up.
Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
Finger for help with the vendor driver.
The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
branch rtl8723au-mac80211
This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
support at this point.
The driver is known to work with the following devices:
Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)
Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru)
