This patchset has not been tested.
Unfortunately, I don't have to proper card to test this patch on my
local. It built for me, and that's as far as I went.

Is there a way for me to test this patch locally _without_ the
corresponding wireless card? I will gladly do this, I just need to know
the tools to use and methodology.

Otherwise, can anyone with the correct wireless card apply these patches to a 
copy of the kernel and
test that nothing breaks because of the patch on their machine? Again
this is for the RTL8723au wireless card.

Thanks,
Jake

I am fine with this code in principle, but has it been tested? This
stuff will break the driver miserably if it's wrong.

Thanks,
