i guess this card/its driver does not use MSI. Did not found anything in "datasheet" [1] or driver [2] about msi

i can revert these 2, but still need patches for mt7622 pcie-support [3]...btw. i see that i miss these in 5.11-main...do not see traceback with them (have firmware not installed...)

root@bpi-r64:~# dmesg | grep ath

so traceback was caused by missing changes in mtk pcie-driver not yet upstream, added Chuanjia Liu
