reviewing the code I think:

- we should not run mt76u_tx_tasklet() from mt76_wake_tx_queue() since we do
  not have tx_napi for usb and it will unnecessary go through tx queue checks.
  We should probably do in mt76_wake_tx_queue() something like:

  if (is_mmio())
	  tasklet_schedule(&dev->tx_tasklet);
  else
	  mt76_txq_schedule(dev, txq->ac);

  Another solution would be add a status_tasklet that just goes through the tx
  queues receiving the usb tx completion and it schedules the tx_tasklet
  What do you think?

- I guess it does not fix the 76x0e issue but we should just schedule tx queues in
  mt76x02_tx_tasklet() (like it is done for mt7603 and mt7615) and move status
  processing in mt76x02_poll_tx()
