This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: r8822be: Fix RTL8822be can't find any wireless AP
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: r8822be: Fix RTL8822be can't find any wireless AP
RTL8822be can't bring up properly on ASUS X530UN, and dmesg says:
[ 8.591333] r8822be: module is from the staging directory, the quality
is unknown, you have been warned.
[ 8.593122] r8822be 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)
[ 8.669163] r8822be: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8822befw.bin
[ 9.289939] r8822be: rtlwifi: wireless switch is on
[ 10.056426] r8822be 0000:02:00.0 wlp2s0: renamed from wlan0
...
[ 11.952534] r8822be: halmac_init_hal failed
[ 11.955933] r8822be: halmac_init_hal failed
[ 11.956227] r8822be: halmac_init_hal failed
[ 22.007942] r8822be: halmac_init_hal failed
Jian-Hong reported it works if turn off ASPM with module parameter aspm=0.
In order to fix this problem kindly, this commit don't turn off aspm but
enlarge ASPM L1 latency to 7.
