Thanks Stanislaw

First of all, thanks for reviewing this. It helps a lot. Before I'm willing to apply this needs review both from Johannes and me. And of course some build testing in pending branch, I'll try to setup that ASAP.

From: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips. rtw88 supports 8822BE and 8822CE chips, and will be able to support multi-vif combinations in run-time. For now, only PCI bus is supported, but rtw88 was originally designed to optionally support three buses includes USB & SDIO. USB & SDIO modules will soon be supported by rtw88, with configurable core module to fit with different bus modules in the same time. For example, if we choose 8822BE and 8822CU, only PCI & USB modules will be selected, built, loaded into kernel. This is one of the major difference from rtlwifi, which can only support specific combinations. Another difference from rtlwifi is that rtw88 is designed to support the latest Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips like 8822B and 8822C series. Compared to the earlier chips supported by rtlwifi like the 802.11n 8192EE chipset or 802.11ac 8821AE/8812AE chips, newer ICs have different MAC & PHY settings, such as new multi-port feature for the MAC layer design and Jaguar2/Jaguar3 PHY layer IPs. Multi-Port feature is also supported under rtw88's software architecture. rtlwifi can only support one vif in the same time, most because of the hardware limitations for early chips, hence the original design of it also restricts the usage of multi-vif support, so latest chipset seems not take advantages from its new MAC engine. However, rtw88 can run multiple vifs concurrently by holding them on hardware ports provided by MAC engine, hence can easily start different roles on a single device. Based on the reasons mentioned before, we implemented rtw88.
