In 5.10.y "mt7615_init_tx_queues() returns 0 regardless of how final
mt7615_init_tx_queue() performs. If mt7615_init_tx_queue() fails (due to
memory issues, for instance), parent function will still erroneously
return 0."

This was fixed upstream, although that particular commit's scope was broader.

That makes sense, of course. Thanks for your patience, will work toward backporting the whole thing.
