Of course - but I would urge other SoCs to be tested (or at least, find a
way to enable it only on compatible chipsets). I'm currently using this
router as a dumb AP to serve 2.4GHz clients, and your patch greatly
improves connection quality due to the packet loss issue being cleared up.
I'll continue using your patch & will report if any issue arises related to
it.
