That repo is confusing, unfortunately. Indeed, the "master" branch seems to
contain v4.3.1.1_11320.20140505. But the last commit is from 2017.

The "realtek-4.4.x" branch is the one being actively maintained, and at some
point it was updated to v5.6.4_35685.20191108_COEX20171113-0047. README.md
was forgotten.
