Arch Linux

Description:

Ever since kernel v6.1.0, including the latest v6.1.2, the entire system freezes after my *Netgear A6210* USB wifi adapter connects to the internet. This uses the *MediaTek MT7612U* chip and `mt76` driver.

This is reported upstream, with a patch at [[v4] wifi: mac80211: fix initialization of rx->link and rx->link_sta - Patchwork](https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20221217085624.52077-1-nbd@nbd.name/).

It's been almost a month now, and upstream still hasn't merged this patch. Could this be merged into *Arch Linux*, so people affected can update their kernel?
