Running the checkpatch.pl script on the file for which patch was created, the
following error was found to exist.
ERROR: space required after that ',' (ctx:VxV)

Fixed the above error which was found on line #721 by inserting a blank
space at the appropriate position.

In fixing one checkpatch.pl condition, you introduced another - the resulting line is too long. You should fix only one such condition, but you should fix any others that are introduced. You do need to document it.

Patch subjects for this driver should be written as "staging: rtl8188eu: .....".
