[pinephone/kernel/wifi] Network namespaces are not supported by the rtl8723cs wifi driver

I've been attempting to run a standard wireguard namespacing setup on my device, and it turns out that WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK is not present, making e.g. iw phy phy0 set netns name blahblah fail with a Not supported (-95) error.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9648787/ shows how this is achieved in a different kernel driver for reference. I may look at this at some point in the future if I have time, popping it here for the benefit of others.

changed title from Network namespaces are not supported by the rtl8723cs wifi driver to [pinephone/kernel/wifi] Network namespaces are not supported by the rtl8723cs wifi driver

maybe this might be the root cause of #480 (closed)?

I've have some preliminary success on this by simply enabling WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK, though some unrelated issues are causing difficulty in testing at present. I'll keep this updated.
