>Firmware initialization can take a while. Move mt7921_init_hw routine in a dedicated work in order to not slow down bootstrap process.

Hi, Lore

I don't think the patch is really needed and it creates the different state of the driver after mt7921_*_probe between without and with the patch
we should be careful to handle it.

For example.

1) It is possible that ieee80211_ops mt7921_ops is working while mt7921_init_work is not completed, so that creates the race issue between ieee80211_ops mt7921_ops and mt7921_init_work still in progress

2) mt7921[k,s,e].ko are always successful probed ( the .ko are always shown in `lsmod` ) that would confuse the users even when we actually got the failure of hardware initialization in mt7921_init_work

so I would prefer to wait a while in mt7921_*_proble until the hardware is ready to be working to get rid of the extra synchronization to be added as well as keep the driver much simple.

        Sean
