Hi,

These are a set of patches which removes semaphores from:

drivers/staging/rtl8723au

These are part of a bigger effort to eliminate all semaphores 
from the linux kernel.

They build correctly (individually and as a whole).
NB: I have not tested this as I do not have the following hardware:

R8723AU
"Realtek RTL8723AU Wireless LAN NIC driver"

Thanks,
Binoy

In reply to#1416994
The semaphores xmit_sema, terminate_xmitthread_sema, tx_retevt and
io_req have no users, hence remove all references to them.
Semaphores are going away in the future.

I am not against this, but please note this driver is already marked for
deletion in a future kernel release.

Cheers,
Jes
