RTL8723BS driver doesn't work for,me but I can help testing

[Tobias Baumann]

good morning

i got the new image from oleg(balbes150) 20200518 RC5  and some more 
feedback

with my patch and oleg RC5 hotstart(shutdown now)  do not work with my 
box ( wlan goes back to sleep mode always)

with my patch chance  1 of 5 till 1 of 3 that my wlan is up and not 
sleep from cold start

with oleg chance 1 of 2 till 1of 3 from cold start that wlan is up  . 
(maybe because of phandle order?)

i thing there is maybe a timming problem between  wlan dis , sdio  data 
and  host wake up wlan .

it could be that GPIOAO_6 is the host wake up wlan ? is it possible to 
change the activation order for the gpio pins by change it in dts ?

Tobias
