This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: r8822be: Fix RTL8822be can't find any wireless AP
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

RTL8822be can't bring up properly on ASUS X530UN, and dmesg says: [ 8.591333] r8822be: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [ 8.593122] r8822be 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003) [ 8.669163] r8822be: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8822befw.bin [ 9.289939] r8822be: rtlwifi: wireless switch is on [ 10.056426] r8822be 0000:02:00.0 wlp2s0: renamed from wlan0 ...

Jian-Hong reported it works if turn off ASPM with module parameter aspm=0. In order to fix this problem kindly, this commit don't turn off aspm but enlarge ASPM L1 latency to 7.
