There is a spellig mistake, correct it and fix capital letter on the
proper noun. Also fix the grammar.

Hi Colin,

often this type of debug messages get removed instead of being fixed.

I do not know what the maintainer will decide in this case. I tend to 
remove.

But for more patches you may want to use:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file 
drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c

Here just a small output of what checkpatch does not like:

WARNING: quoted string split across lines
#2079: FILE: drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c:2079:
+		IEEE80211_DEBUG_SCAN("Filtered out '%s (%pM)' "
+				     "network.\n",

CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <SignalStrength>
#2095: FILE: drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c:2095:
+	stats->signal = 30 + (stats->SignalStrength * 70) / 100;

WARNING: Block comments use a trailing */ on a separate line
