Built a dev system and made the suggested changes in ~/source/build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/linux-ramips_mt7620/compat-wireless-2017-01-31/drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c around line 5287

flashed the wt3020 device and rx signal strength reported as -64/68 compared to -64/66 with 17.01.2 and snapshot r4741-7a8909411c near enough to no change.

As a check a physically adjacent device (a5v11) reports rx signal strength ~-44.

Both wt3020 and a5v11 have rx signal on wr842 (ap) as ~-40.
