I have one mt76x2u (Alfa AWUS036ACM) and a few mt76x0.

I've noticed two additional issues in my testing.

First issue, is that it appears the mt76x0 devices don't work properly
in monitor mode.  Sometimes they seem to monitor one channel properly,
but nothing else.  The mt76x2u works great, channel control, lots of
packets, etc.
Could you elaborate a little bit please? how can you reproduce the issue?
just add an interface in monitor mode and run a scan?
Correct, standard stuff, use iw to create a monitor mode interface,
use iw to remove managed mode interface, run some tool such as kismet
or airodump-ng or even wireshark.
But what exactly are the syptomps, I don't understand what you mean by
"mt76x0 devices don't work properly in monitor mode" ?

I guess it depends on eeprom values. Could you please enable debug
messages a paste
syslog output?
I don't see a mediatek specific debug near the driver selection in
menuconfig, what debug messages do you want me to enable and how?
You need to uncomment this line:

# ccflags-y := -DDEBUG

in drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt76x0/Makefile

Thanks
