[PATCH 0/5] wifi: mt76: add USB RX aggregation support

Hi Sean,

MT76 usb already supports Scatter-Gather (SG) for RX urbs in order to receive
multiple buffers in the same urb. Since this approach has a better memory
footprint, can we reuse this approach?
Moreover, can you please provide some performance comparison? (e.g. throughput
and memory usage).

Regards,
Lorenzo
