I haven't yet connected it to the build.  I have an update for almost
all (but mt76 which is currently needing more things from LinuxKPI)
queued to get all drivers up to the same level before 14.0/15 happens
to make maintainance easier.

I haven't forgotten you and was planning to email back once this
happened.

If you in the meantime want to try it out (but no guarantees on how it
acts in main at this point) you want to apply somehting like this:

% git show ab8fc547e7dd336bde8e8a29d52c2dcc9e141c4f

     mt76: add to build

     Add mediatek/mt76 drivers mt7915 and mt7921 as well as their
     man pages to the build.  There is interest by various people to
     try/use and enhance support further.
