[PATCH] Added Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) usb_device_id to mt7921u_device_table[]

[Reese Russell]

Issue: Though the Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) is based on the mt7921
chipset because of the unique USB VID:PID combination this device
does not initialize/register. Thus making it not plug and play.

Fix: Adds support for the Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) based on the Mediatek
mt7921au chipset. The method of action is adding the USD VID/PID
pair to the mt7921u_device_table[] array.

Notes: A retail sample of the Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) yeilds the following
from lsusb D 0846:9060 NetGear, Inc. Wireless_Device. This pair
0846:9060 VID:PID has been reported by other users on Github.

I can confirm this VID/PID needs to go into 6.1 LTS and the current
testing version of the kernel as I am getting an increasing amount of
traffic from users that have purchased the Netgear A8000.

My site is github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Helping Linux users with USB WiFi is what we do.

The OP could have added a comment to the patch showing the adapter
that is causing this patch to be submitted. Maybe he can submit a v2
that can be expedited?

Guidance?

I assigned this to me on patchwork, I'll queue this for v6.3 and change
the commit log to below. Felix&Lorenzo, ack?

There was a conflict, please rebase over wireless and resubmit as v2:

Re: help with Qualcomm QCA6696

I don't know what hardware ids QCA6696 has but in theory ath11k supports
that family (QCA6390) of devices, though some changes might be needed.
But ath11k won't help you as it only support station and AP interface
modes with QCA6390 family.

BTW please don't send HTML emails, our lists drop those.
