Those missing globals were due to missing parts in the version of common.mk that 
you used. That part will be OK now that I pushed the real version.

There is a major difference between firmware and a driver. The former runs in 
the CPU on the chip while the latter runs on the host CPU. At the moment, there 
are no drivers for any of the USB variants of the rtw89 chips.
