Most likely is not fixed. We have those new commits in 5.3:

41a531ffa4c5 rt2x00usb: fix rx queue hang
0f47aeeada2a rt2800: do not enable watchdog by default
e403fa31ed71 rt2x00: add restart hw
710e6cc1595e rt2800: do not nullify initialization vector data
09db3b000619 rt2800: add pre_reset_hw callback
759c5b599cf4 rt2800: initial watchdog implementation
2034afe4db4a rt2800: add helpers for reading dma done index
9f3e3323e996 rt2x00: allow to specify watchdog interval

Most suspicious are 710e6cc1595e and 41a531ffa4c5 .

Could you test by reverting one single commit on 5.3
(first 710e6cc1595e and if that not help 41a531ffa4c5)
and check if it makes the problem gone?

It seems to me that reverting only
710e6cc1595e25378c4b9977f7a8b4ad4a72a109
allows all my android devices to successfully connect to the internet.

After some testing it seems attached patch fixes the regression with no
observed negative side effects. Thanks.
