My suggestion would be to do this:
start_main = test_and_clear_bit(MT76_STATE_RUNNING, &dev->mphy.state);
start_ext = ext_phy &&
             test_and_clear_bit(MT76_STATE_RUNNING, &ext_phy->state);

Then using those as conditions for calling mt7915_run in 
mt7915_mac_restart.

That way the special case in mt7915_run disappears and the behavior 
becomes easier to follow.
