Description
Are there plans to support "eeprom file" in mt76 driver?
I opened the PR (https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1448) to add support for ELECOM WRC-733GHBK.
This device has a MT7610E for 5GHz wifi, and eeprom data is stored in Factory partition.
But eeprom does not have device specific MAC address and it needs to be patched.
Therefore, eeprom file needs to be used instead of mtd-eeprom on this device.

Research direction
Review the linked OpenWrt PR and the mt76 EEPROM/mtd-eeprom handling first; the issue does not name files or tests. Trace how the Factory partition is read and how the device-specific MAC must be patched, then verify that an eeprom file can replace mtd-eeprom for the ELECOM device.
