r8188eu driver in 5.15 only shows wifi networks on channel 11

[Zameer Manji <zmanji@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am reporting a regression in 5.15 in the r8188eu driver. Apologies
if this is not the right mailing list to report the issue, I am not
sure if reporting issues in staging drivers is appropriate for
linux-wireless list.

I have a TP Link TL-WN725N device [0]. With 5.14 it is able to connect
to my wifi network and operate as expected. With 5.15 it is not able
to, the root cause appears that the wifi network no longer shows up in
`iwlist wlan0 scanning`. Here is the entry that shows up in 5.14 but
not in 5.15:

                    Quality=100/100  Signal level=100/100
```

The only networks that show up in `iwlist wlan0 scanning` in 5.15 have
`Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)` networks on other channels do not
show up.

I don't have any kernel parameters set, and I am using the same
firmware for both kernels. If it matters, the kernels were taken from
Ubuntu's Mainline PPA [1].

Full output from lsusb for this device.
