I'm sponsoring this case for Michael Li. It is to provide a new
wireless driver, rtl819x, for RealTek RTL8192SE series wireless devices.
The requested release binding is minor.
I have marked it as "closed approved automatic" since the change is
straightforward and the interface is clear. If there is request, I'd be
happy to upgrade it to a fast track and set the timer.
