Thanks a lot for your patch and analysis of the situation.
As you add code reading values from the EEPROM, we need to make sure
that it doesn't break other chips (Rt5xxx most likely, Rt3xxx could
also be affected). The easiest would be to create a new function
rt2800_config_alc_mt7620 which is called only for MT7620 while keeping
the original codepath for all other rt2800 radios (unless we are 100%
sure that we won't break things).
