These commits can fix the problem of wifi not loading properly. At least in my 5.10 kernel environment, the following error message is reported:
rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: rfe 6 isn't supported rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to setup chip efuse info rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to setup chip information
so I think that 5.10 need to merge these commits.
The patch 1/3 and patch 2/3 need to be merged synchronously, otherwise it will cause OE and then kernel exception.
Ping-Ke Shih answered[1] a question for a user about an rtl8821ce device that reported RFE 6, which the driver did not support. Ping-Ke suggested a possible fix, but the user never reported back.
A second user discovered the above thread and tested the proposed fix. Accordingly, I am pushing this change, even though I am not the author.
