Eeeh, if it ran at anything near that for prolonged time, the heat
would likely spread around the device causing the battery to
eventually combust.. Qualcomm DTs say one thing, but vendor
userspace daemons are far more conservative. Not sure if they're
still around (should be iirc), but I would definitely
object allowing anything inside [mainly] mobile devices to reach
that kind of temperature..
