Please keep order of field and instance declaration, like rtw8703b_hw_spec.

The position to declare this field is very different from others. 

Not sure when we messed up the order, but please don't feel free to add one,
keep the order. 

If you have time, could you help to align all of them across chips?
If not, I will take my time to do that after your patch.
