So I started to do integration here:
https://github.com/sgruszka/wireless-drivers-next/commits/mt76x0-draft

However since driver is self containging, I think better would be just
submit the driver into mt76/mt76x0/ dir upstream and do code merging work as
follow-up patches posted on the mailing list. Patches then could be reviewed
on regular basic. This will provide support for new mt76x0 devices in kernel
quicker. Conflicts with mt76x2u and not yet upstreamed mt7603 could be resolved
on the fly.

Another issue is firmware submission, how it was done for mt7601u and mt76x2 ?

Thanks
