What is that period in the commit message? And the semicolon?
You should also be a bit more specific. Also, the Subject line is
very bad. Better go with something like this:
staging: rtl8192e: fix userspace pointer dereference
And when you resend a patchset, please resend the full patchset.

This is totally unneccessary.

When you cite a commit please don't include the full hash, that is
non informational. Better put the first 7 characters of the hash and
the first line of the commit message as well in parantheses, like so:
5169af2 ("Staging: rtl8192e: Fix declaration of symbols")
(I even have a command for this in vim :-) )
Are you sure that 1/2 was applied to the staging tree?
It's unlikely that 1/2 is applied while 2/2 is left alone.
Oh, I am unable to find commit b5c8d48 in Linus' or staging-next.
In which tree is it?

Could you please as well remove that empty line in the declarations?
