We already initlized WPDMA_GLO_CFG_WP_DMA_BURST_SIZE to 3 on
rt2800_init_registers().

More a notice than a potential issue since I don't have much
knowledge about the driver/chip internals.

But WPDMA_GLO_CFG_WP_DMA_BURST_SIZE in rt2800_init_registers() is
set conditionally for rt2x00_is_usb(rt2x00dev), where this one is
set unconditionally. Not sure if this change has side effects.

Default HW setting of WP_DMA_BURTS_SIZE is 2, hence patch does not
change behaviour on PCI devices. However I looked at RT3290 and
RT5592 PCI vendor drivers and there this value is initialized to 3.
So I think we can remove is_usb condition in rt2800_init_registers().

Shouldn't one of the explanations (depending on where you decide to set WP_DMA_BURTS_SIZE) go into the commit message? As said in my last mail, without further explanation it looks like introducing a bug.
