Hmm, I think efforts should be somehow synchronized here.

I have almost ready for post patches adding mt76x0 driver to the kernel.
Some cleanup work is probably needed, but I think they can be reviewed
and merged. They do not conflict with patches currently posted Lorenzo
except small changes in mt76.h and Makefile files, what can be easy
to resolve.

Thanks
