I would like to retract this again because it seems like the firmware is now 
hanging all the time when the default runtime-pm/deep-sleep settings are used.

This doesn't seem to happen that often when I perform a

   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mt76/runtime-pm
   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mt76/deep-sleep

before setting up the interfaces.

But even then, on the first "ip link set up dev mon0" (not only for mon0 - 
also for wlan0/...) it will crash with:

But when I then set up the device again then it seems to work. This is the 
case for monitor and managed interfaces.

I've used commit 678071ef7029 ("mt76: mt7615: clear mcu error interrupt status 
on mt7663") in mt76.git for this. 

Kind regards,
