I tested that patch. Works fine for me for wifi, but I can't test BT
to be sure it works 100%. Most people will be fine with just wifi
though, I guess, considering the objections were mostly about BT (I
understood -from the objection- that connecting to a AP when having a
BT device paired breaks?)
If the patch helps people to get wifi working we should take it, BT coex
issues can be fixed in followup patches. IIRC there has been multiple
reports about this so I'm leaning towards taking the patch to v5.11.
I changed the patch to New state and my plan is to take it to
wireless-drivers-next once the tree opens:

Kalle,
I had generated and applied that trivial patch to my GitHub repo with the rtw88
drivers a couple of months ago. Yes, it does get the user past the
initialization check; however, wifi performance is abysmal according the the
users of the repo. It seems that the antenna selection of rfe 2 models affects
wifi as well as BT. Applying this patch will get wifi running; however, the
users will need to be within 1 m of the AP for it to work! I do not have an
RTL8821CE chip, thus I have not tested myself.
