Enable the use of CQM_RSSI_LIST with mt76-devices. The change has been
tested with the mt7602, mt7603 and mt7621 PCI wifi-cards. I passed a
list of RSSI thresholds to the driver, and when disconnecting/connecting
the antenna(s) I got an event each time the RSSI went above/below a
threshold.
While I have not been able to test the change with any of the mt76
USB-devices (no access to a device), the RX RSSI management code is
shared between the two device types. Thus, CQM should also work with the
mt76 USB-devices.
v1->v2:
* Updated commit message. Thanks Kalle Valo, Arend van Spriel,
Lorenzo Bianconi and Andrew Zaborowski.

The changelog should be here, after the '---' line, so that git can
automatically drop it. But I can fix it before I commit, but in the
future please add it to the correct place.

Thanks for letting me know and thanks for fixing my error this time. I
was not aware of this requirement, but will remember about it in the
future.
BR,
