[PATCH] mt76x0: run vco calibration for each channel configuration

[PATCH] mt76x0: run vco calibration for each channel configuration

[Lorenzo Bianconi]

According to vendor sdk, vco calibration has to be executed
for each channel configuration whereas mcu calibration has to be
performed during channel scanning. This patch fixes the mt76x0
monitor mode issue since in that configuration vco calibration
was never executed

For the record this is 4.19 material.

I really want to minimise conflicts and because of so many mt76 patches
conflicts are likely to happen, so I'm keeping the bar high for mt76
patches going 4.19. Is this a regression from 4.18? If not, I think this
should go to -next and cc stable. And besides, monitor mode isn't that
critical anyway.

mt76x0 isn't in 4.18 at all, it's being added in 4.19 isn't it?  I'm
not sure you can call it a regression, but adding a new driver with a
known bug that breaks an entire use case (monitor mode) seems silly
when a small and tested fix is available.  Pretty please.

Thanks,
Zero

Patch conflict with pending mt76 -next patches. Apply it and rebase
all other patches on top of it, is a lot of work. I agree with
Kalle that it will be better to apply this patch on top of -next
and CC stable. Problem should be fixed in 4.19.1 or 4.19.2 .

Unfortunately it's not that simple as you think. And do take into
account that the maintainers need to deal with a lot of patches and
email so keeping things simple is important.

And please do not top post:
