[PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7928: only do CLC hw type sanity check on MT7925

From: Charlie-cy Wu <Charlie-cy.Wu at mediatek.com>

mt7925_load_clc() is shared by MT7925, MT7927 and MT7928 (0x7935 is
folded into 0x7928 in pci.c). The hw type sanity check it does on every
CLC region is MT7925-specific twice over: the encap bits live at
efuse offset MT_EE_HW_TYPE (0xa71) in the MT7925 layout, and only
MT7925 CLC blobs carry that hw type in their t0/t2 header. On
MT7927/MT7928 the driver therefore reads a byte that means nothing on
those parts and compares it against a header field that was never
populated, so a mismatch silently skips every CLC region and leaves
phy->clc[] empty - no country/regd table gets installed at all.

Gate both the efuse read and the two header checks on is_mt7925(), so
MT7927/MT7928 accept the CLC regions from their own firmware as-is.
No functional change for MT7925: PCIe still reads 0xa71 and filters by
encap type, USB still runs with hw_encap = 0 as before.

Fixes: 356b39285559 ("wifi: mt76: connac3: refactor CLC header type validation logic")
