Grzegorz Szymaszek b2fa9e13bb staging: r8188eu: add firmware dependency 
The old rtl8188eu module, removed in commit 55dfa29b43 ("staging:
rtl8188eu: remove rtl8188eu driver from staging dir") (Linux kernel
v5.15-rc1), required (through a MODULE_FIRMWARE call()) the
rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin firmware file, which the new r8188eu driver no
longer requires.

I have tested a few RTL8188EUS-based Wi-Fi cards and, while supported by
both drivers, they do not work when using the new one and the firmware
wasn't manually loaded. According to Larry Finger, the module
maintainer, all such cards need the firmware and the driver should
depend on it (see the linked mails).

Add a proper MODULE_FIRMWARE() call, like it was done in the old driver.

Thanks to Greg Kroah-Hartman and Larry Finger for quick responses to my
questions.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
