So have you tested this and with what devices? For example, does it work
with recently added USB devices?
I was looking into this as it looks suspicious to me. From reading the
description of this ext_feature flag it seems this is an extention of CQM:

"""
  * @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST: With this driver the
  *     %NL80211_ATTR_CQM_RSSI_THOLD attribute accepts a list of zero or more
  *     RSSI threshold values to monitor rather than exactly one threshold.
"""

Also looking at mt76x2_bss_info_changed() it does not handle
BSS_CHANGED_CQM so I doubt it has support for it (yet). The driver does
not use IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_CQM_RSSI which is a requirement for it.

According to my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong)
BSS_CHANGED_CQM is only needed if CQM_RSSI is handled
by the driver/fw, while if it is not set mac80211 will take care of that
in ieee80211_handle_beacon_sig routine.
I am AFK at the moment, I will test that patch when I am back from vacations.

Lorenzo
