Nothing is blocked on my side - the patch is unchanged and ready to be
applied as posted. Since it went out it has collected:

Acked-by: Nicolas Cavallari <nicolas.cavallari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Tested-by: Devin Wittmayer <lucid_duck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

and Nicolas supplied the tag wifibot asked for, which I agree with:

Fixes: 13b7e6a96a00 ("wifi: mt76: Disable napi when removing device")

I have not resent it, since the diff is byte for byte the same and those
trailers are in this thread for b4 to pick up. Happy to send a v2 with
them folded in if that is easier for whoever applies it.

Nicolas has also posted the proper fix for the mt7915e WARNs that this
revert reintroduces, which depends on the revert going in first:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20260810154923.32546-1-nicolas.cavallari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So the pair is complete. Both are still sitting at "new" in patchwork:

revert: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20260804120004.523934-1-mikhail.v.gavrilov@xxxxxxxxx/
mt7915: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20260810154923.32546-1-nicolas.cavallari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Felix, could you also mark my withdrawn first attempt as superseded? It
is still at "new" too, and it must not be applied - it replaces the hang
with a use-after-free:
