Learning: RTW_WARN_LMT sed workaround in driver_rtl8852bs() function in lib/functions/compilation/patch/drivers_network.sh is necessary for kernel 6.1 compatibility, even when the upstream wifi-rtl8852bs driver has the macro defined for newer kernels. The workaround ensures cross-kernel compatibility from 6.1 to 6.16+.
