Hi,

all wlan drivers that use "wireless extension" interface are planned to 
be removed or converted to mac80211. You can find them by looking for 
iw_handler

Simple way to find them is using:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/A/ident/iw_handler

Finally you are very unlucky. That a driver gets removed before you get 
your patches accepted is very unlikely. You can work on any of the others.

Feel free to ask me in case of questions.

If you send in patches for rtl8712 I can test on hardware for you.

Bye Philipp
