Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

My hardware is rtl8723be and when booting my debian it shows this errors
on dmesg:


[    2.646419] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=06 hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=8723

Also this hardware is responsible for my wifi connection and it seems to
have weak signal right now. On previous kernel 4.11.x i have also this
problem by i pass a parameter in kernel module and it worked fine.
Specifically i used this:

in /etc/modprobe.d/xxx.conf

options rtl8723be ant_sel=1

If you need any further info please feel free to ask.
