+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7915: mcu: increase eeprom command timeout
+
+Increase the timeout for MCU_EXT_CMD_EFUSE_BUFFER_MODE command.
+
+Regular retries upon hardware-recovery have been observed. Increasing
+the timeout slightly remedies this problem.

+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7915: mcu: lower default timeout
+
+The default timeout set in mt76_connac2_mcu_fill_message of 20 seconds
+leads to excessive stalling in case messages are lost.
+
+Testing showed that a smaller timeout of 5 seconds is sufficient in
+normal operation.

+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7915: mcu: re-init MCU before loading FW patch
+
+Restart the MCU and release the patch semaphore before loading the MCU
+patch firmware from the host.
+
+This fixes failures upon error recovery in case the semaphore was
+previously taken and never released by the host.
+
+This happens from time to time upon triggering a full-chip error
+recovery. Under this circumstance, the hardware restart fails and the
+radio is rendered inoperational.
