I am not; I'm using https://github.com/lede-project/source (master branch)

However, I don't believe it makes any difference - spi-mt7621.c appears
to be identical in both and the same patch applies; and this isn't an
Omega2-specific issue. All MT7688-based systems have this issue; MediaTek
Labs patched their LinkIt repo for this. A fix really belongs upstream.

Thanks -
Dana
