mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes

Trying to fix the MT7610U chipset driver by MediaTek so it's usable on modern Linux kernels and with nl80211/NetworkManager (and not completely breaking on old ones, maybe...).

Based on the driver from the HPRATH site (thank you!) http://hprath.com/2014/06/cisco-linksys-ae6000-ac580-media-tek-mt7610u-mt7630u-mt7650u-linux-x64-driver-patch/

Some of the issues, such as a WPA supplicant issue, are fixable by comparing MT7610U and MT7612U code from MediaTek.

Features

Linux kernel 4.4 support
Works with 2.4/5GHz networks out of the box
Works with NetworkManager and nl80211 interface out of the box
Works with WPA2-Personal and WPA supplicant/NetworkManager without extra configuration
rmmod isn't locked while driver is running and clean-up is better (work in progress)

Building

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
make clean
make
sudo make install

I have added all the devices from here, but it doesn't necessarily mean they will all work https://wikidevi.com/wiki/MediaTek_MT7610U

Major bugs fixed in original driver

If you have these issues, then this driver might fix the problem.

Keeps getting Disassociation with ReasonCode=1(Unspecified) while connecting to WPA2 AP
NetworkManager keeps asking for password even though password is correct
wpa_supplicant debug mode error: No wpa_ie set - cannot generate msg 2/4
Nothing works if /etc is on BTRFS (because DAT file could not be read)

TODO

Remove excessive logging
Allow operation without DAT file
Add other dev ids
Try to get AP mode working (huge project?)
Test other encryption modes like WEP, WPA2-Enterprise, etc.
Using -Dwext with wpa_supplicant seems to reveal a warning (WARN_ON(!bss) kernel 3.11 ~net/wireless/sme.c:658 __cfg80211_connect_result+0x24f/0x346) in the driver, which was probably there originally

Other

Please submit patches or let me know of anything missing or not working
I also don't know the code very well, but have been working on comparing MT7610U and MT7612U code to find out-of-date portions in the MT7610U driver
