Starting with kernel 6.1 rc1, mt7612u and mt7610u are hard locking
systems when connection is established. From a report this morning:

"So I'm using a MT7610U based adapter and updated to 6.1.1 in Arch
Linux and it's a complete lockup a few seconds after connecting as
other people have said, I'll use the LTS kernel (5.15) in the
meanwhile but this is probably going to get a lot of people that use
distros with newer kernels."

Background: Problem first discovered with kernel 6.1 rc1. Bug report
was seen on linux-wireless around the rc5 timeframe. This is an
additional bug report.

I don't think additional info is needed as I have tested on several
distros with various RC's of 6.1 and the problem is 100% reproducible
and unavoidable. This is a show stopper bug and will result in
widespread reports as distros upgrade to kernel 6.1.
