Add mt76x0 driver for MT7610U based USB dongles. Currently driver support only STA mode. mt76x0 is based on Jakub's mt7601u driver already included in the kernel. I would like the driver be integrated as part of mt76 (instead of separate driver in mediatek dir like mt7601u) to utilize mt76 code for adding support for MT76x0 PCIe devices in further development.So what's the future for mt7601u, are we going to delete it? What's Jakub's opinion about all this? And what's the delta featurewise between mt7601u and this driver? Which one will be loaded by default?I think we can integrate mt7601u in mt76 as soon as mt76x0 is merged since the code path is pretty similar. Jakub what do you think? (That was actually on my ToDo list :)) For the moment I guess both drivers can coexist since the usb_device_id lists seem different
Ah, I didn't realise that. I was exactly worried that if we would now have two drivers supporting same device ids, but very good if that's not the case. -- Kalle Valo
