Subject: Linux 6.19-rc1 mediatek mt7921e broke badly

mt7921e doesn't load on my primary laptopn on Linux 6.19-rc1 and problem
still there on 6.19-rc2.

  From what I can tell from dmesg it attempts to do load firmware
in mt792x_load_firmware() during and then generates warns and
fails to load the module. dmesg excerpt below.

      wifi: mt76: mt792x: fix wifi init fail by setting MCU_RUNNING after CLC load

The above commit changes when the MCU_RUNNING bit is set in mt7925_run_firmware(),
changing it to set this bit only after mt7921_load_clc() completes.

I didn't get a chance to bisect yet and a quick revert of the patch didn't solve
the problem. This is a serious problem for me since my wifi is dead on my
primary laptop. Hope a fix is coming soon.

I am available for debug/testing help early next week.

thanks,
