This is good news! I think the driver is ready to move out of staging
and would be very happy to see you do it.

My only small concern is that this driver was backported to openwrt
(4.14 based) and then reverted

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/749a29f76ca780d8df70a5163d43bbdc6f13ba3f

 "This breaks some mt7621 devices."

Possibly it was backported badly, or possibly there is a problem.

John: do you have any more details of the problem other than what is in
the commit message?

Thanks,
