Re: [SPAM]Re: BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin is missing in the firmware tree

Dear Thorsten,

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
MT7920 and MT7921 are different chip (hardware) but both use same
chip_id 0x7961 and we distinguish between these two chip through the
8th bit of the "fw_flavor" register.
Therefore, I think we have not violated this rule:
> Users switching to a newer kernel should *not* have to install newer
> firmware files to keep their hardware working.
because MT7921 still be MT7921 and use same FW bin
BT_RAM_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.

About MT7920, we will push the stable FW bin after internal test done.

BRs
Peter
