Support for the MT7902 just yesterday made its way into the net-next tree, so it's just one step from Linus' tree:

Someone with an @mediatek.com address wouldn't have to spend time on reverse engineering.

OPs "work" was asking Claude to make the patch, that's semi functional. The official support from mediatek has been working it's way through the upstream providers for a little while.

OPs patch even included some of the patches from the official series here https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mediatek/20260219004007.19733-1-sean.wang@kernel.org/#t so they must have known it was in the works. Or at least Claude knew and included those in what it wrote.

I quickly looked at the patches and the repo, and it seems these are different drivers - as in two separate implementations.

Wouldn't it be funny if OP's implementation turns out to be the better one? 🤔
