The two headers - rtl818x.h and rtl8187.h cannot be merged because the definitions in rtl818x.h are shared between the usb and pci drivers.
I rather not combine any files, though I don't mind collapsing the driver another level. However, I think other driver authors much prefer having their own directory, and I'd like to keep the drivers consistently in their own directory or all together in drivers/net/wireless. -Michael Wu
