Separate from the recently discussed work on [1]MediaTek MT7927 "Filogic 380" support being worked on for the MT76 Linux driver (still undergoing review), a number of other MediaTek MT76 wireless driver improvements are queued up ahead of the Linux 7.1 merge window opening as soon as next week.

Many MT76 driver patches made it into the net-next development repository for the Linux kernel's networking subsystem. Among the patches standing out the most are [2]MediaTek MT7902 hardware support being in net-next for Linux 7.1.

There are also dozens of other MT76 patches affecting various MediaTek wireless chipsets supported by this driver, There are features enabled like per-link beacon monitoring for MLO, optimizations, external EEPROM support for MT799x chipsets, enabling NPU offloading support for MT7996 devices, and more. Plus dozens of fixes too as part of this recent patch storm for MT76 WiFi.
