So use different value as argument for mt76u_fill_rx_sg() in
mt76u_rx_urb_alloc(). After changing buf_size to PAGE_SIZE we will
allocate 8 pages per rx queue entry, but only 2 pages will be used
(with data_size change, 1 without data_size change). Or I'm wrong?

I do not understand what you mean by difference here.
