Hello Felix, Lorenzo et al.

With v6.9 kernel the following card:

01:00.0 Unclassified device [0002]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7915E 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:7915]

doesn't work any more. Upon mt7915e module insertion the following splat happens:

mt7915e 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1648 at net/mac80211/main.c:794 ieee80211_alloc_hw_nm+0x9a3/0x9f0 [mac80211]

and the card stays non-functional. Re-inserting the module triggers the same behaviour.

The following condition is triggered:

 794                 if (WARN_ON(!ops->add_chanctx ||
 795                             !ops->remove_chanctx ||
 796                             !ops->change_chanctx ||
 797                             !ops->assign_vif_chanctx ||
 798                             !ops->unassign_vif_chanctx))
 799                         return NULL;

This worked with v6.8 and earlier just fine.

Please help.

Thank you.
