mt76x0 is GPL only as some parts of it are modified copy of either out
of tree Mediatek GPL driver or Jakub's mt7601u also realised under GPL.

Is ISC equal to "Dual BSD/GPL" what is marked by MODULE_LICENSE ?
I think this should be clarified too.

Agree. However not sure if we can unify of all mt76 code to the same
license (and which one: GPL ?), but at least we can convert source 
files to SPDX identifier.
