Serge Vasilugin reports:
To improve mt7620 built-in wifi performance some changes:
1. Correct BW20/BW40 switching (see comments with mark (1))
2. Correct TX_SW_CFG1 MAC reg from v3 of vendor driver see
https://gitlab.com/dm38/padavan-ng/-/blob/master/trunk/proprietary/rt_wifi/rtpci/3.0.X.X/mt76x2/chips/rt6352.c#L531
3. Set bbp66 for all chains.
4. US_CYC_CNT init based on Programming guide, default value was 33 (pci),
set chipset bus clock with fallback to cpu clock/3.
5. Don't overwrite default values for mt7620.
6. Correct some typos.
7. Add support for external LNA:
a) RF and BBP regs never be corrected for this mode
b) eLNA is driven the same way as ePA with mt7620's pin PA
but vendor driver explicitly pin PA to gpio mode (for forrect calibration?)
so I'm not sure that request for pa_pin in dts-file will be enough
First 5 changes (really 2) improve performance for boards w/o eLNA/ePA.
Changes 7 add support for eLNA
Configuration w/o eLAN/ePA and with eLNA show results
tx/rx (from router point of view) for each stream:
35-40/30-35 Mbps for HT20
65-70/60-65 Mbps for HT40
Yes. Max results for 2T2R client is 140-145/135-140
with peaks 160/150, It correspond to mediatek driver results.
Boards with ePA untested.

Based on: 1ac627024d ("kernel: ath10k-ct: provide a build variant for
small RAM devices")
Like described in the ath10k-ct-smallbuffers version, oom-killer gets
triggered frequently by devices with small RAM.
That change is necessary for many community mesh networks which use
ath10k based devices with too little RAM. The -ct driver has been
proven unstable if used with 11s meshing and only wave2 chipsets are
supporting 11s. Freifunk Berlin is nowadays assembling its
firmware-based completely of vanilla OpenWRT with some package additions
which are made through the imagebuilder. Therefore we cannot take the
approach other freifunk communities have taken to maintain that patch
downstream [1]. Other communities consider these devices as broken and
that change would pretty much give those devices a second life [2].

Some drivers that do their own sequence number allocation (e.g. ath9k, mwlwifi) rely
on being able to modify params->ssn on starting tx ampdu sessions.
This was broken by a change that modified it to use sta->tid_seq[tid] instead.

On systems using brmcfmac (e.g. Raspberry Pi Zero W) without this fix,
the final setup-call:
iw dev wlan0 ibss join ...
fails with returncode 161 and message:
"command failed: Not supported (-95)"
So this patch calls an explicit:
iw dev wlan0 set type ibss
just prior to the 'ibss join' command.
I have tested several ath9k and mt76xx devices
with different revisions: this patch does not harm.
please also apply to stable branch.
