Done, in the chip driver.

You are right, and the reason it did not was a bug of mine:
rtw8723b_init_wmac_setting() assigned WLAN_RCR_CFG over hal.rcr
wholesale and so cleared BIT_APP_FCS, where the 8723x siblings only
write the register. With the bit set in the chip's WLAN_RCR_CFG the
descriptor carries the FCS and the core needs no special case.

Both changes are in the chip driver series rather than the
preparations, so they will not be visible until that one is sent.
