Hello Bjoern.
I am using CURRENT nowadays, so I can definitely test the card on 14 after a brief world update.
Last time I tried I think I was getting kernel panics every 10~ish minutes, but could've been other causes. As I have mostly been using Ethernet this month I have only used rtw88 briefly so I cannot confirm.
I will test this commit out and report back as soon as I have some spare time.

Thanks again for your work, sincerely.
