5222676307 rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix loss of signal
commit 78dc897b7ee67205423dbbc6b56be49fb18d15b5 upstream.

In commit c713fb071edc ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem
correctly") a problem in rtl8821ae that caused loss of signal was fixed.
That same problem has now been reported for rtl8723be. Accordingly,
the ASPM L1 latency has been increased from 0 to 7 to fix the instability.

5618e88293 rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add antenna select module parameter
commit c18d8f5095715c56bb3cd9cba64242542632054b upstream.

A number of new laptops have been delivered with only a single antenna.
In principle, this is OK; however, a problem arises when the on-board
EEPROM is programmed to use the other antenna connection. The option
of opening the computer and moving the connector is not always possible
as it will void the warranty in some cases. In addition, this solution
breaks the Windows driver when the box dual boots Linux and Windows.

A fix involving a new module parameter has been developed.  This commit
adds the new parameter and implements the changes needed for the driver.

f037c35161 rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix module parameter initialization
commit 7079604ddb83f428359feace3aeaf8a9f435be4a upstream.

This driver has a number of errors in the module initialization. These
include the following:

Parameter msi_support is stored in two places - one is removed.
Paramters sw_crypto and disable_watchdog were never stored in the final
locations, nor were they initialized properly.

f1d2b4d338 rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory
Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
