As nothing has happened with that GitHub account for several months, my guess is
that it will not be merged any time soon.
It would make little sense to replace one staging driver (r8712u) with a
different one. The only thing that makes sense is for it to use mac80211 and be
merged in the regular drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi tree.
