This post seems to cover what is required:
Thanks, but i've pushed my method that covers this, but doesnt hard code the uid and gid.
Pull my latest stable changes, clear down the image and try again.
Thanks, I've cleaned up, recloned and testing a start-min build now - looking much healthier and pleased to have learnt some docker bits in the process 
Also seems that having dl folder symlinked may not work out:
mkdir -p /home/buser/openwrt/dl
mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/buser/openwrt/dl': File exists
make[3]: *** [Makefile:35: /home/buser/openwrt/dl/xz-5.2.4.tar.bz2] Error 1
You symlink it not mkdir - so in the top level of the source code directory, 'ln -s ../dl dl'
so example - /home/youruser/xiaomi-m4a/dl is symlinked to /home/youruser/dl
Yes, but the error was from within the container whilst the build was running (it tries to create the folder and then complains).
ok, probably a docker volume would help keep the download files. i will try and improve sometime.
For now dont do a symlink dl.
I just did this for myself and simplistic building, but feel free to improve if you wish.
hi, i did noob mistake, there is kernel.bin and susupgrade.bin in your 1.2 stable release
because everyone posting always about flashing sysupgrade.bin, so from start i flashed sysupgrade.bin from stock xiaomi and make it through using python somehow
i just found out in openwrt A&Q that ideally, from stock first step is flashing kernel.bin and then sysupgrade.bin
do i need reflashing kernel.bin?
kernel.bin was advised in case of boot issues, you just carry on using the sysupgrade.bin thats the standard way.

Hi, I hope someone can help.
Is it possible to completely turn off the 2 LEDs?
Thanks David for your effort.....just a quick one does your latest version 1.2 supports kernel for sqm cause I need to fix my bufferbloat issue cause I have a slow broadband connection and this processor I believe can handle SQM just fine. Thank you
1.2 doesnt have sqm installed, you can build the image yourself. Otherwise if you can wait im doing some wifi fixes i've discovered.
It will be a new thread on the mt76 driver issues.

Thanks David, yes of course I will wait and I believe it will pretty much stable for sure after your update..
i'm using 5ghz , i just realized it now after long time use.
cause it's give me a little headache because the problem seems very often rightnow, maybe about minute/hour the radio crashed and restart itself,

i'm done trying different build from here / official snapshot and still .. same result 
How can the error that @addays is mentioning can be fix?
I already changed the PSU and it still crashes.
With the original stock firmware and even with Padavan the Wi-Fi is solid in both radios.
There might be hope for your issue and @Basix130w coming soon. I've noticed the mt76 driver for the V19.07.4 release is using the v19.07 branch in the m76 git repo, is missing loads of patches. So its possible an admin error on openwrt part?. I will be doing a new stable release soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

Will the fixes you make be included by default when OpenWrt 20.xx comes out?
Very doubtful, but its possible if the required fixes are updated to the newer kernel.
I'm just getting the v19.07 stable to work for now.
I'm also on last build by @db260179 works perfect for me. No hickups on 2,4G and 5G. Bandwidth on 5G also great - around 400mbit.
Maybe your hardware is faulty?

Sorry, your answer is not clear to me. Can you explain that more simply?
Same for me, but I've only been testing 5G and using a custom compile (including preferred apps) based on @db260179 commit just prior to updates of mt76.
