Description
For the target ramips-mt7621, the device dlink-dap-x1860 does not show airtime channel utilization in current main.
After bisecting this to a specific commit, I found that the cause of this is in this commit:
b4a917417c856307fe19fb6a1a2819e3270df22e

Solution
Currently, there is no other solution than to use the mt76 commit prior to the mentioned one.
If there is anything I can do to help fix this, I will - though I did not quite understand what goes wrong on this specific device and did not understand the code well enough.
The WSM20 and COVR-X1860 are not affected though and this issue does not influence general wireless clients quality

Research direction
Start by examining commit b4a917417c856307fe19fb6a1a2819e3270df22e and comparing it with the preceding mt76 code for the ramips-mt7621 target and dlink-dap-x1860 device. Use the linked Gluon issue for reproduction details; done means airtime channel utilization is reported correctly on the affected device without regressing the WSM20 or COVR-X1860.
