The call to mt7915_run is guarded by MT76_STATE_RUNNING being set per-phy.

I think this is to not start the second PHY in case it was never started due to
it not being present. We could in theory remove this check for the primary PHY
and clear the flag prior calling mt7915_run.

This seems a bit more hacky to me. Alternatively I can also refactor the entire
mechanism to make it easier to understand and resolve this indirection in the
process.

What do you think?

Best
