Description

After I upgraded to 23.05, the mobile devices always lost WIFI 5G connection, but WIFI 2.4 worked as expected.
There were many discussion about this issue https://forum.openwrt.org/t/solved-openwrt-on-mt7621-mt7615n-devices-with-5ghz-problems/107392/64
But not sure why it came out again. Are there any patches that have not been applied?

Research direction

Start with the reported mt76x2e kernel log and the linked discussion about MT7621/MT7615 5 GHz problems. Reproduce the loss of 5 GHz connectivity on the D-Team Newifi D2 after upgrading to 23.05, then trace the firmware restart and determine whether an unapplied patch explains it. Done means the 5 GHz connection remains usable after extended operation and the regression is covered by an appropriate fix or documented evidence.
