There are three 3081 parts with an SDIO front end, not two. 8822BS is
RTW_WCPU_3081 as well (rtw8822b.c:2527) and rtw8822bs.c is built as
rtw88_8822bs.o, so naming 8821CS and 8822CS only leaves it out. Patch 3
changes the interrupt path for all three at once and only the 8821CS was
probed, which is the one thing I would add to a series that Cc's stable.
If there is no run on 8822BS and 8822CS to hand, saying the same for both
would do, the way the cover already does for 8822CS.

Best regards,
