I don't know if it's safe to remove DPD calibration in mt7601u driver
for all supported devices. Possibly it is. I don't have my device any
longer, but as far I remember removing DPD was harmless for my device.
But can not assure that this does not break support for some other
devices or cause not easy to notice issue like performance drop on
some specific conditions.
