This isn't a kernel bug. The firmware for this device is missing. From what I understand, you have to download it from the vendor driver and put it in the proper location as it is not shipped with the upstream linux-firmware project.
Yes, you are right. The binary is missing. In the meantime I fixed it with: git clone https://github.com/porjo/mt7601 cd mt7601/src/ make sudo mv mcu/bin/MT7601.bin /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin
