Hm. What I found was the driver has been integrated in kernel 6.2 and if
you need to build it for an older kernel, then they're supported too.
Versions 5.12-6.2 have community support and 4.19-5.11 are supported by
Realtek. I don't know what that means exactly though.

I can try to build this with Debian's stable 5.10 kernel at some point
but I don't have the hardware.
