Subject: Re: [regression] mt76x2u: NULL pointer dereference since recent
 change to fix chanctx emulation for monitor mode

If you're interested in, mt7601u is not affected:

EDIMAX EW7711UAn v2

ID 7392:7710 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd Edimax Wi-Fi

$ hcxdumptool -l
   0	  4	74da38f2038e	9e3605d3ab34	*	wlp5s0f4u2      	mt7601u	NETLINK

I haven't figured out yet why it is not affected like the mt76 series.
