Loaded the firmware files from the commits listed in the Bug Description
into my system and I can confirm it also fixes the issues on the 6.5 HWE
Kernel (6.5.0-14-generic). This restores IPv6 connectivity for this WiFi
device (depends on Multicast for things such as RA's/ND's).

However, this firmware did introduce a new warning in my logs, which was not
present with the previous firmware (regardless of kernel version):
[ 101.523786] warning: `ThreadPoolForeg' uses wireless extensions which will
stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware; use nl80211
So keep this in mind when using the updated firmware. The MT7921 is a
WiFi6 device so I do not expect it to be affected by above warning.

Bug description:
The current firmware for MT7921 WiFi is giving me problems like dropping
multicast packets (mDNS).
I manually updated the firmware files and that fixed the issue.
To be more specific, please include this commit:

3) What you expected to happen
WiFi working
4) What happened instead
Multicast packets dropped, mDNS not working
