I am not involved in the r92su project. My impression is that the latest 
proponent of that change was not happy with the information that r92su would 
still be in staging, but without mac80211 there is no other choice.

If there are parts of r8712u that are problems for you, then patch them. I will 
review them, but I am not likely to contribute other than for things that are bugs.
