Hello everybody!
I have installed OpenWRT on Mikrotik hAP ac3 that I've bought recently. Everything is ok, except WiFi.
Did not succeed with current release 25.05.5 as well as with current snapshot and some earlier versions of OpenWRT. Also tried installing some other firmware for ipq4019 from repo, all without success. The device does not have any problems with its original RouterOS.
I also have identical device that I've bought about a year before, and WiFi is ok with OpenWRT.

Does your serial by any chance start with HF ?

It worked! Thank you very much!!! You saved me
But why this patch was not accepted for mainline OpenWRT yet?

Second patch, pull request 15774. Dear maintainers, please review the patch: it can not be applied to some makefiles due to kernel version mismatch! I had to edit it manually.
Compiled and flashed it. WiFi seems to work. Gonna test it more further.
