In commit 697455ce4110 ("staging: rtl8192u: Remove broken driver"), the
driver was removed, along with the Kconfig entry, but the Makefile line
in drivers/staging/Makefile was not updated, so things like 'make clean'
fail to work properly as they will decend into all subdirectories to try
to clean things up.

Resolve this by removing the entry in the main staging Makefile.

Thx Greg, that fixed things for my case. In case anyone cares:

I care, thanks!


Sorry for messing up. I did a compile test of the entire kernel but I was not aware that I also need to test 'make clean'

Bye Philipp
