Description
While the current build for my Xiaomi R3P runs very smoothly it shows a lot of interrupt errors caused by the mt7615 chips/drivers. Are these errors of any relevance or just a "cosmetic" thing?
the version I am using is OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r13136-ad27c133eb

Research direction
Start at backports-5.4.27-1/net/mac80211/sta_info.c:1937 and trace ieee80211_sta_update_pending_airtime through ieee80211_report_low_ack and the mt76_tx_complete_skb/mt7615_txp_skb_unmap path. Reproduce with the reported /proc/interrupts and dmesg output, then establish whether the interrupt count and airtime-underflow warning affect operation and identify the driver-side change needed.
