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

Regards,
Lorenzo
Also I noticed that mt76 is missing an entry in MAINTAINERS file? Could
someone send a separate patch to add that, please?
