Does this patch break AP + STA configuration (since we are changing MT_MAC_ADDR_DW{0,1}
regs with a possible complete different value)? I think (but not 100% sure)
MT_MAC_ADDR_DW is linked to BSSID used.
Maybe it is safer to maintain mt76x2u_add_interface routine since it is just a static
function used in mt76x2u module
