Subjectstaging: rtl8723bs: questions on TODO list
Hello all,

I'd like to have some clarifications about rtl8723bs driver.
In order to make this driver ready for moving out of staging
I would like to know:

- find and remove remaining code valid only for 5 GHz. Most of the obvious
ones have been removed, but things like channel > 14 still exist.

is it possible to remove all 5g code, even the one related to power
regulation when on band 5g? As far as I know about this card is that
it doesn't support 5g, so may I just delete all 5g code or there are some
constraints I'd take care of?

- find and remove any code for other chips that is left over

Ok this seems clear, are there some suggestion to do it safely?

- convert any remaining unusual variable types

Ok (but feel free to suggest anything)

- find codes that can use %pM and %Nph formatting

Ok (but feel free to suggest anything)

- checkpatch.pl fixes - most of the remaining ones are lines too long. Many
of them will require refactoring

Ok

- merge Realtek's bugfixes and new features into the driver

Please, can you explain what one could do that?

- switch to use LIB80211
- switch to use MAC80211

I think I need a few details for these last points as well.

Do you think that one will need real hardware to complete
these tasks? I don't have rtl8723bs card at the moment, so
I think I will focus on those TODO activities which
don't need it.

thank you in advance,

fabio
