They came from Ping-Ke's review of the chip driver, where he asked
whether the chip can reuse the existing code since the values are the
same. Moving the identical writes to mac.c was the answer to that, and
it also removed the last reason for RTW88_8723B to select RTW88_88XXA.

I will put them back per your request. The chip driver writes those two
again, as it did in v4.
