I was looking into this as it looks suspicious to me. From reading the
description of this ext_feature flag it seems this is an extention of CQM:

"""
* @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST: With this driver the
* %NL80211_ATTR_CQM_RSSI_THOLD attribute accepts a list of zero or more
* RSSI threshold values to monitor rather than exactly one threshold.
"""

Also looking at mt76x2_bss_info_changed() it does not handle
BSS_CHANGED_CQM so I doubt it has support for it (yet). The driver does
not use IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_CQM_RSSI which is a requirement for it.
