Patch applies cleanly and removes the checkpatch issues related to
unnecessary braces and trailing */ in a different line.

Hi Anuradha,

It is a good idea to include the checkpatch issue you are solving in
the commit message, in this case it would be:

Fixed issues with coding style

WARNING: Block comments use a trailing */ on a separate line
#94: FILE: drivers/staging/rtl8712/xmit_linux.c:94:
+                * priority." */

WARNING: braces {} are not necessary for single statement blocks
#165: FILE: drivers/staging/rtl8712/xmit_linux.c:165:
+       if (!r8712_if_up(padapter)) {
+               goto _xmit_entry_drop;
+       }
---

You can send each type of checkpatch issue in an separate patch. If
you do this, please fix the other issues as well :) There are some
CamelCase problems and the GPL header needs fixing.

Thanks 
Luis
