Acked to changes of these Realtek WiFi drivers. But I'd like to know why
rtw88/rtw89 aren't included in this patchset? Greg sent a patch [1] to
correct error path of USB probe for rtw88. In the discussion, he also
mentioned the simplest way is to drop usb_get_dev()/usb_put_dev() like
this patchset does. Will you share patches for rtw88/rtw89? I so, I'd
drop Greg's patch and apply yours.
