Wait, I take that back.  This code is a bit weird.  We would return an
error, then mt7601u_dma_init() will call mt7601u_free_tx_queue() which
doesn't check for tx_q == NULL condition.

Looks like mt7601u_free_tx() has to check for dev->tx_q == NULL and
return early if that's the case.  Or mt7601u_alloc_tx() should really
clean things up on it's own on failure.  Ugh.
