Sorry, I forget to place the version difference here.

v2:
 - Allocate new data-sized skb and put data into it, then pass it to
   mac80211. Reuse the original skb in RX ring by DMA sync.
 - Modify the commit message.
 - Introduce following [PATCH v3 2/2] rtw88: pci: Use DMA sync instead
   of remapping in RX ISR.

v3:
 - Same as v2.

v4:
 - Fix comment: allocate a new skb for this frame, discard the frame
if none available
