Description
It seems like various devices use MT7613 (or MT7663), and connect the 5G Wifi LED to the MT7613 UART_RXD pin (#73).
I've got an industrial 4g router from MovingComm, I3000, the device manufacturer confirmed that the LED is wired that way.
In the forum, I found an article regarding the ASUS RT AC1200-V2:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/adding-support-for-asus-rt-ac1200-v2-maybe-v1/118578/6
@therealsummoner proposed a fix in https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/pull/651
I've compiled that fix into a current OpenWrt. The LED now lights up, but blinks rapidly, and cannot get disabled via software.
Basically the behavior described by @wertwert4pda in https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/18190
What would be the correct way to fix this?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed fix in mt76 pull request #651 and the reported behavior on the MT7613 or MT7663 UART_RXD pin 73. Reproduce the rapid blinking and inability to disable the LED on affected hardware; done means the 5G LED operates correctly and can be disabled through software.
