My apologies, I should've have explained my reasoning for the patch better (and sooner).

1. My issue with 5.10 version of mt7615_init_tx_queues() in drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7615/dma.c is that return value of final call to mt7615_init_tx_queue() is not taken into account
when returning result of mt7615_init_tx_queues(). So, if last mt7615_init_tx_queue() fails (due to memory issues, for instance), parent function will still erroneously return 0.

2. To correct the issue, I turned to Lorenzo's patch in b671da33d1c5973f90f098ff66a91953691df582 which solves my petit problem as well as rewrites a single mt76_init_tx_queue() function to be used
across all mt76 drivers.

3. I was torn between writing my own little patch to fix a single mistake or use an existing one that increases code readability and uniformity. I settled on latter.

4. As for this patch exclusivity to 5.10.y branch, I have an incentive to prioritize 5.10 of all others. Wasn't sure I should be the one to suggest the patch for other branches but it does make sense.

Keep having issues with quoting emails properly, hope this one worked fine.

Thanks,

Nikita

I'm sorry, but I have no context here at all.  Always properly quote the
email you are referring to.  Remember, some of us get 1000+ emails a day
and can't remember anything we wrote in response an hour later, let
alone days or weeks.
