This mainline commit is missing:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c?h=v6.18-rc1&id=66063033f77e10b985258126a97573f84bb8d3b4

This fix already exists in 5.15.y:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c?h=v5.15.194&id=2d3cef3d7a5df260a14a6679c4aca0c97e570ee5
…but is missing in 5.10.y.

I now backported it to 5.10.y here:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/[email protected]/T/#u
