After I read vendor driver, there are three variety of rfe_option for 8821C.
1. raw value from efuse
   hal->rfe_type = map[EEPROM_RFE_OPTION_8821C];

2. BT-coexistence 
   rfe_type->rfe_module_type = board_info->rfe_type & 0x1f;

3. PHY
   dm->rfe_type_expand = hal->rfe_type = raw value
   dm->rfe_type = dm->rfe_type_expand >> 3;


For rtw88, there are only two variety, but they are identical
   coex_rfe->rfe_module_type = efuse->rfe_option;

The flaws are rfe_type->rfe_module_type of item 2 and dm->rfe_type of item 3
above, and most things are addressed by your draft patch. Exception is
check_positive() check dm->rfe_type, but we don't have this conversion in
rtw88 (i.e. cond.rfe = efuse->rfe_option; in rtw_phy_setup_phy_cond()).

Since I don't have a hardware with rfe_option larger than 8, could you
please give below patch a try?

8821C is more complex than others, and I'm not familiar with it, so maybe I
could miss something. Please correct me if any.

You're right. I miss these points.

Agreed. Add something like:

I'm not sure if we add all of them, since some aren't tested, but maybe it would
be better than nothing.
