Subject: [RFC 0/2] add per-vif TX power capability

Configure the HW with highest TX power among all vif when HW TPC has been
enabled in order to add support for per-vif TX power capability. Cap per-packet
TX power to vif configured power in the TX path

Configure the HW with highest TX power among all vif when HW TPC has been
enabled in order to add support for per-vif TX power capability. Use lowest
configured power among all interfaces when TPC is disabled

Subject: [RFC 2/2] ath9k: add per-vif TX power capability to TX path

In order to add per-vif TX power capability cap per-packet TX power to vif
configured power if the latter is lower than per-rate TX power and mac80211
per-frame power. Use vif TX power if TPC has been disabled for current
interface
