[PATCH] Added Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) usb_device_id to mt7921u_device_table[]

[PATCH] Added Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) usb_device_id to mt7921u_device_table[]

[Reese Russell]

Issue: Though the Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) is based on the mt7921
chipset because of the unique USB VID:PID combination this device
does not initialize/register. Thus making it not plug and play.

Fix: Adds support for the Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) based on the Mediatek
mt7921au chipset. The method of action is adding the USD VID/PID
pair to the mt7921u_device_table[] array.

Notes: A retail sample of the Netgear AXE3000 (A8000) yeilds the following
from lsusb D 0846:9060 NetGear, Inc. Wireless_Device. This pair
0846:9060 VID:PID has been reported by other users on Github.

I can confirm this VID/PID needs to go into 6.1 LTS and the current
testing version of the kernel as I am getting an increasing amount of
traffic from users that have purchased the Netgear A8000.

My site is github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Helping Linux users with USB WiFi is what we do.

The OP could have added a comment to the patch showing the adapter
that is causing this patch to be submitted. Maybe he can submit a v2
that can be expedited?

Guidance?
