In 5.10.y "mt7615_init_tx_queues() returns 0 regardless of how final
mt7615_init_tx_queue() performs. If mt7615_init_tx_queue() fails (due to
memory issues, for instance), parent function will still erroneously
return 0."

This was fixed upstream, although that particular commit's scope was broader.
