I can confirm that it does work on mt76x2u on 4.19.5; so my request is
to backport 802.11w (software crypto I believe) support for mt76x0u to
4.19 LTS.  Pretty please :-)

Just in case it helps to confirm what is needed, here is the error
from wpa_supplicant when trying to connect to an 802.11w AP
wlan0: WPA: Failed to configure IGTK to the driver
wlan0: RSN: Failed to configure IGTK

thanks,
Zero
