15.1/relnotes: LinuxKPI based wirleess drivers

Browse Source 
Adjust the carefully prepared list of changes for the 15.1 release:
- reduce the list of driver updates to the ones we actually ship.
  Mediatek was in a different category anyway.
- adjust some descriptions and add notes to Realtek drivers that
  there are known issues.

Adds initial support for LinuxKPI-based wireless drivers, notably man:iwlwifi[4], on RISC-V systems. While ACPI is not yet fully supported on this architecture, the driver framework has been adapted to allow compilation and operation where possible. Note that the man:rtw89[4] driver is temporarily unavailable on RISC-V due to unresolved ACPI dependencies.
