mt7981: rate control issue with pre-cal enabled #1021

Description

@castiel652

Device: Zyxel NWA50AX Pro (mt7981)

Issue

Channel 149~165

With precal enabled the rate control seems unable to go above MCS7 no matter VHT or HE.

With precal disabled through DTS there's no problem at all.

Clients all supports up to MCS11 verified by checking /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy1/netdev:phy1-ap0/stations

Config

config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/soc/18000000.wifi+1'
        option band '5g'
        option channel '149'
        option htmode 'HE80'
        option country 'TW'
        option cell_density '0'
        option hostapd_options 'he_twt_responder=0'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
        option device 'radio1'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'Trash GGGGG'
        option encryption 'sae'
        option isolate '1'
        option key ''
        option ocv '0'
        option dtim_period '3'

iwinfo output (wiht precal)

First one is AX210 through one wall.
Second one is iPhone 16 Pro in the same room with the AP.
