Thank you for the firmware update. With this firmware and the mt76.git
commit 678071ef7029 ("mt76: mt7615: clear mcu error interrupt status on
mt7663") + hostapd commit 14ab4a816c68 ("Reject ap_vendor_elements if
its length is odd") , I was able to connect to an 6GHz AP:

Just as note: It is still not possible to see beacons when using the card in
monitor mode.
