+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7996: Use tx_power from default fw if EEPROM
+ contains 0s
+
+Some Banana Pi BPI-R4-NIC-BE14 WiFi modules are sold with zeros instead
+of usable tx_power values in EEPROM for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
+
+This patch replaces tx_power zeros with default values from firmware
+files while keeping the rest of the EEPROM data intact (including valid
+6 GHz tx_power table).
