Question is if the driver works with MT7620 as advertised. Either case
it would be odd if the driver advertises itself as MT7621 but only works
for MT7620, so I think it should be dropped entirely for now.

Wim, should I possibly ask Stephen to include my watchdog-next branch
in his -next builds ? This would help us catching such problems earlier.

Thanks,
Guenter
