MT7981 is such a chip with NAT offload capability, and the
flow-offload driver mentioned in other threads is actually
a driver for this hardware block.
Since it's a cost-down MT7986 I would imagine this particular
feature is the same between them:

HW NAT
− Etherent/WiFi
− Wired speed
− IPv4 routing, NAT, NAPT
− IPv6 routing, DS-Lite, 6RD
