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

[Nick Morrow]

> 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.

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?
