This standalone driver needs a few small patches to properly build and install
within Buildroot.
Pathces sent upstream: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/pull/128
Changes v1 -> v2:
- use the kernel-module infra;
- mention binary blob in _LICENSE;
- remove inappropriate BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_ stuff;
- mention the need to enable CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT in the kernel.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Makefile: quote CROSS_COMPILE
+
+When using a CROSS_COMPILE value that contains a whitespace, such as
+"ccache arm-linux-", building fails because only the first word is passed down
+to the kernel Makefile as CROSS_COMPILE. Successive words are interpreted as
+targets.
+
+Fix by quoting CROSS_COMPILE.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Makefile: add a modules_install target
+
+Allows to cleanly install the module in the standard way, as suggested by
+Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt in the kernel sources.
+
+This is needed when installing from within a build system (such as Buildroot)
+that implement depmod on its own, and does not need the blacklist and other
+fixups that are implemented by the 'install' target.

+ A standalone driver for the RTL8188EU USB Wi-Fi adapter.
+ This is needed only for Linux kernels before 3.12.
+ Since 3.12, there is a (staging) driver in mainline, with a similar
