Longer term I think it makes sense to add SDIO support to rtl8xxxu. The
differences between the USB version and the SDIO version are rather
small.
That said, I have quite a lot of things on my TODO list so it is going
to take some time until I can look at this. It may make sense to pull
a cleaned up version of the vendor driver into staging until then if
there is a desperate need for it, but otherwise any help would be
appreciated :)
