[RFC/Testing] Porting RTL8723BS driver to upstream rtw88 framework

Hi all,

I am working on porting the rtl8723bs WiFi driver to the upstream rtw88 framework. The goal is to provide a cleaner, more stable, and upstream-compatible driver to replace the currently problematic staging implementations.

Status:
I have completed the initial porting and the interface can be brought up; however, scans are currently failing. As I lack the physical hardware to conduct real-world verification, I am looking for users with RTL8723BS-based hardware (e.g., Medion Akoya, HP Stream, etc.) to assist with testing and logging.

Project Repository: https://github.com/MocLG/rtw88-rtl8723bs

Safety Warning: > As this is a kernel module, it carries the risk of kernel panics or system instability. Please ensure you have a fallback kernel installed or a Live USB handy before testing.

How to help:
Detailed testing instructions, including automated debug capture scripts, can be found in the repository README.

If you have a device and are willing to test, any feedback—logs, success reports, or crash details—would be invaluable for the porting effort. Thank you for your time.
