Thanks for your patch, I've applied to master.

One question: https://github.com/jethome-ru/rtl88x2cs says "** USE
RTW88 NOT THIS DRIVER **", so why are we using it? It seems like you
are the person maintaining this driver.

Thanks,

Thomas

RTW88 in-kernel driver has some problems at this moment: no working AP 
mode, wifi connection fails after 2-3 days, speed issues.

The comment appeared when JetHub devices switched to the rtw88 driver. 
After we switched back to rtl88x2cs, I decided to keep the comment as 
motivation for development and to identify issues in rtw88.
However, in production, we and some other boards use the rtl88x2cs 
driver and we maintain it as necessary.


Since this question has been asked more than once, I decided to modify 
the description a bit. Now that alarming message will no longer be there)
