Disagree. MT7620 in Xiaomi MiWiFi mini has thermal pad sticked to
enough large metal shielding that is sticked with another thermal pad
to even bigger metal part of case. So thermal dissipation in that case
is very good.
Also with pandorabox firmware 200Mbps of stable throughput is possible
without any throttling which I believe would not be the case if the
cooling system wasn't reliable.
Back on subject, this patch is tested and proven to work, so ACK from me.
