The rtw88/README should claim support for RTL8723DE devices, add them. And also there will have confusion that the 802.11ac driver rtw88 supports an 802.11n device RTL8723DE, add the information to WHENCE. To prevent some fo the distros not including WOW firmware but have WOW support and cannot load firmware at the end, add a note for it.

rtw88 firmware
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This repository contains firmware images supported by Realtek's wireless
|
|
driver rtw88. And some of the devices run with more than one firmware
|
|
file. Basically, a "normal" firmware is necessary to be downloaded to
|
|
the device.
|
|
And another is called "wowlan" firmware, it should be loaded when a
|
|
device is going to suspend. Which means driver will "re-download/swap"
|
|
the firmware image. The wowlan firmware contains wake up functions that
|
|
can recognize specific events and send a wake up signal to device if
|
|
needed, and the system will resume to running state. During resume,
|
|
driver will then swap the normal firmware back, return to running state.
|
|
|
|
If any distros or platforms do not require wowlan feature, they can
|
|
_only_ pick the normal firmware. And everything still works fine,
|
|
except that the device cannot be waken from the wireless NICs.
