sure. i will resend it with modified commit log.
r8712_read32() is ultimately calling usb_read32() which is again calling  
r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq().
this r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq() is communicating through the usb bus and is 
sending and receiving the control msg.
that is why i didnot remove it.

same reason for r8712_read8().
