This patch will add the support to control the transmit power for traffic
to a station associated with the AP. Userspace provide the transmit power
value in mBm units. ath10k firmware expects the value to be in dBm and
hence will convert the value from to dBm before passing down to firmware.
Underlying FW will enforce that the maximum tx power will be based on the
regulatory requirements. If the user given transmit power is greater than
the allowed tx power in the given channel, then the FW will use the maximum
tx power in the same channel.
When 0 is sent to the FW as tx power, it will revert to the automatic tx
power for the station.

The firmware command has a bit of a misleading name, but if this really
is the behaviour then all should be OK.

So this is where the 0 comes from, perhaps - but I think it'd be better
to do that translation in the driver.
Come to think of it, you're also missing range-checks entirely, so if I
give you some insane value you'd still send it down - no chance the
firmware will be unhappy?
Also, you should probably accept negative values for the TX power, and
make that an s32 instead of u32 across the patchset.

These are expected as this depends on cfg80211 patch not yet applied.
