Description

Realtek rtl8723cs driver is spread among various families (sunxi64, rockchip64, rk322x) all carrying around a driver for the same realtek chip. This PR removes the single drivers from each family and consolidate them into a single patchset that is used for all the families around for kernels >= 6.1

What has been done in this PR:

• main source for driver and patches are sunxi64 megous patches
• move into patch/misc/wireless-rtl8723cs directory
• integrate with minor patches from rk322x/rockchip64 families
• update drivers_network.sh and drivers-harness.sh to apply patches in same order as before
• remove references from patches.megous and series.conf in sunxi64
• remove patches from rk322x and rockchip64 family patches
• do not touch kernel archives older than 6.1

Jira reference number AR-1586

How Has This Been Tested?

• [x] Deb kernel packages compiled and tested on rk322x (rtl8703bs chip, rtl8723cs driver): both wireless and bluetooth work fine
• [x] Deb kernel packages compiled on rockchip64
• [x] Deb kernel packages compiled on sunxi64
