maybe Matthias knows anybody?
get_maintainers-script shows no mtk employee for mtk_thermal driver, added Sean and Ryder as common Linux-Contacts...

Daniel from openwrt have some other mt7622 Boards maybe he can test the Fan approach below

maybe adding FAN (r64, don't know for other mt7622 boards) for lower 2 trips (with adjusted temperature points) and cpu-throtteling for upper 2 trips

something like this (used the 70/80 trip points discussed before):
