This bug was noticed by me and confirmed by many more people using this chipset with openwrt: https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/783 It seems that for this particular chipset the mt76_phy->txpower_cur is never set, like in the case of other chipsets like mt7603, mt7615, etc. The driver is correctly calculating the TX power adjustment based on the number of antennas. However, the base TX power (phy->txpower_cur) is not being properly initialized or set to a meaningful value. It's starting at 0, so the final result is just the antenna gain compensation divided by 2.
