This driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supports Realtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC, Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implemented though. The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported by rtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address ranges are totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. To communicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to have better utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To provide rich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added. Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to propose a new driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
