Not sure why bit BIT_RF_TYPE_ID (27) is different: 

working state:
   rtw88: rtw_chip_parameter_setup:1859 hal->chip_version=0x493d30ea
non-working state:
   rtw88: rtw_chip_parameter_setup:1859 hal->chip_version=0x303030ea

I'd try to read more times to see if it can become correct...
Also, I force to use correct value at the last iteration to see if it
can work even incorrect value of register 0xF0.
