The single mt76x8 device I have works, my reasoning was that maybe 
those needed further checks because most (all?) of them are small flash 
devices. That worry was triggered by the odd report of people bricking 
their device by flashing images with too big a kernel. That being said, 
that even seems to happen to beefy modern hardware like the mvebu 
platform, so... I may have been overly cautious (and worried).

By now it's clear I am not wholly familiar with the finer points, so 
I'm happy with the answers I got (and what I learned) and I'll leave it 
at that.

Thank you!

Stijn
