True, but it's also used as local variable in one-screen function;
Nevertheless - I got the point.

Thanks for the patience, I will try to split such commits more in future.

As for v3 I assume patches 15, 19, 20 should be reworked; I will:
- Try to find better names for structure members where possible (this mostly 
applies to r8192_priv members), 
- Do exactly one type of cleanup 'operation' in each commit (this means fixing 
  one LONG_LINE warning may take more than one commit)
- Avoid playing with pointers like above
- Standardize local variable names in all functions (i.e. if I use igain as 
init_gain pointer, I'll do it like that everywhere)

Is it enough or did I missed something?

Regards,
Mateusz
