Description

In this second step (previous one: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4913) of rtl8723cs consolidation, the rtl8723cs driver patches and references have been removed from:

  • sunxi-edge (6.2) @The-going
  • media-edge (6.2) @150balbes
  • media-current (6.1) @150balbes

for the sunxi-edge there has been a bit of more work:

  • one patch changed from 6.1 to 6.2 (8723-enable-wowlan): the difference was spotted in hunk a dts file for pinephone. The hunk has been extracted and put into patches.armbian for both 6.1 and 6.2. The same hunk has been removed from the patch in misc. I don't know if it is a good idea though: perhaps on next rtl8723cs patch rebase the hunk may reappear but probably we need a better strategy to handle driver updates (putting the driver in a github repo like the other extrawifi?)
  • megous.series, armbian.series and series.conf and been manually adapted, they seem rather ok and patches apply in the right order without issues.

The media family patches were already available in the existing misc directory, so they have just been removed.

Jira reference number AR-1586
