[Impact]
There's no in-kernel support for Realtek 8723DE, so users need to use
out-of-tree DKMS which is not from Ubuntu archive. This has security
implication and should be avoided. Also this provides pretty bad user
experience.
[Fix]
Add support to Realtek 8723DE.
All commits are cherry-picked from Realtek maintained repo:
https://github.com/rtlwifi-linux/rtw88_8723de
[Test]
With the patch series applied, 8723DE can scan and connect to APs
succesfully. Also did some S3 smoke test, it continues to work.
[Regression Potential]
Low. The device in question was never supported, and if there's any
regression, we can count on Realtek Wireless team, thy are now pretty
responsive on upstream mailing list.
