I wonder if we actually need to call r8712_read32() here?  It's not
clear.  The changelog should say one way or the other.  Maybe something
like "I left a call to r8712_read32(padapter, TCR) because I didn't know
if it had side effects".  When you note down questions you have in the
changelog that helps reviewers.

Same here.
