Hi Stanislaw,

have you tried to look at the commit: 6fe533378795f87
("mt76: mt76x02: remove irqsave/restore in locking for tx status fifo")?
Could it be a race between a registermap update and a stats load? (we are u=
sing a
different lock now)

I am not sure if we really need mt76x02_mac_poll_tx_status() here since we =
run
it in mt76x02_tx_complete_skb() and in mt76x02_tx_tasklet(). Anyway the only
difference doing so is we do not run mt76x02_send_tx_status().

Regards,
Lorenzo
