Description

Came up in the forum: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/802-11ax-worse-than-802-11ac-with-mt76-driver/126466/545

mt76 doesn't accept pull request. You need to send the patch to the Linux wireless mailing list.

Please add a readme or update the about description of this repo to either point to an external guide or to directly outline the formal requirements and etiquette for a pull-request. Alternatively, provide the proper procedure for proposing commits to mt76.

I think adding this would be a good (low effort, but efficient) response to the many pull-requests here that have gone unanswered and largely ignored.
