Remove 980-rt2x00-reduce-power-consumption-on-mt7620.patch which in
combination with the most recently added patch reportedly causes TX
power to be too weak.
"without patches rssi on receiver is ~ -23dBm with 980 about -35dBm,
with both patches drops below -40dBm. with 987 only ~-28dBm"
We may need to reconsider this once we have implemented TSSI.
Fixes: cdb58b2bfe ("mac80211: rt2x00: reduce tx power to nominal level on RT6352")

Current implementation of RT6352 support provides too high tx power
at least on iPA/eLNA devices. Reduce amplification of variable gain
amplifier by 6dB to match board target power of 17dBm.
Transmited signal strength with this patch is similar to that of
stock firmware or pandorabox firmware. Throughput measured with iperf
improves. Device tested: Xiaomi Miwifi Mini.

This updates the backports package used in mac80211 to version 4.19.7-1
which is based on kernel 4.19.7. This integrates all the stable fixes
introduces in this kernel version.
The deleted patches are not needed any more because they are either
included in the upstream Linux kernel 4.19.7 or in backports 4.19.7-1.

This is an official release with some minor changes compared to the
unofficial 4.19-rc4-1 we used before.
* added bcma and ssb again, which is removed in OpenWrt
* fix to build with kernel 4.19
* other minor fixes not relevant for Openwrt.

This updates mac80211 to backports based on kernel 4.19-rc4.
I plan to integrate all the patches which are in this tar into upstream
backports soon.
I used the backports generated from this code:

According to Stanislaw Gruszka the patch
600-23-rt2x00-rt2800mmio-add-a-workaround-for-spurious-TX_F.patch
should be dropped.

Add RXIQ calibration found in mtk driver. With old openwrt builds this gets us ~8Mbps more of RX bandwidth (test with iPA/eLNA layout).
Please try if this makes any difference among various board/RF layouts.

Write registers required for reducing power consumption like the vendor
driver does when ADJUST_POWER_CONSUMPTION_SUPPORT is set.
This helps devices to sync at better TX/RX rates and improves overall
performance.
