This bug only fixed one issue, also it needs a kernel parameter. Please
check the "Bug Description" and report new bugs if you want.

It makes nonsense to reopen this one, because it's a MSI compatibility
issue, and all we could do it providing a switching parameter.

** Description changed:

  As my testing result with ThinkPad E540 and other users' report[1],
  RTL8723BE drops connection with MSI enabled, need to backport
  329d6e299f92a591acb3a80f6d597a5f9dce7e6d "rtlwifi: rtl8723be: disable
  MSI interrupts mode"

+ Tips for RTL8188EE [10ec:8179] and RTL8723BE [10ec:b723] users: those
+ hardware modules have MSI compatibility issue, on some certain platforms
+ they work fine with MSI but break connections without MSI, on some other
+ certain platforms it's opposite. You could try to toggle its module
+ parameter "msi"
