Details

Description:
After updating my system from kernel version 5.14.16 to 5.15.2, my WiFi stopped working. Ethernet and USB internet remained functional. I am using NetworkManager for my internet access. NetworkManager could see the WiFi card and load the driver, but could not scan and detect WiFi networks. As soon as I downgraded back to the kernel version I was using before, WiFi regained functionality.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
linux 5.15.2
* config and/or log files etc.
Attached is a dmesg log before I downgraded
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Use a RTL8188EUS WiFi card. Upgrade from 5.14.16 to 5.15.2, reboot, and attempt to scan for WiFi networks.
