each node use the same config
and I notice that mesh0 and wlan1-1 share the same mac address

I know this may no issue of mt76 but issue on mac80211 or somewhat.

Research direction
The issue names no source file or test; start by reproducing the OpenWrt configuration and inspecting the wpa_supplicant logs and iwinfo output for mesh0 and wlan1-1 on phy1. Done means identifying the cause of the repeated scan failures and validating that the nodes join the mesh successfully.
