According to the series in https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux- wireless/list/?series=559649&state=*, this has been accepted. rtw89 repo now seems to have this v7 of the driver, and mentions it should be in the next 5.16 kernel.

I installed Impish daily (kernel 5.13). Not recognized. The firmware is natively present in firmware folder, /rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin . But the kernel module is not loaded and in fact no module is loadable! sudo modprobe rtw8[completion] does not return this wifi card's module. So I did run for: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 and it does work but needs to be done for each kernel upgrade... Note that Bluetooth was natively ok. I tried 5.14 Ubuntu kernel from unstable ppa but same issue. lspci 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
