Subject: [PATCH v2] iw: Add support for controlling tx power for per station
Date:   Wed, 30 Jan 2019 16:11:11 +0530
Message-Id: <1548844871-13980-1-git-send-email-bpothuno@codeaurora.org>

Precedence: bulk

From: Ashok Raj Nagarajan <arnagara@codeaurora.org>

This patch allows userspace to set transmit power,
in dBm units, to a station associated to the AP.

To set a limit tx power of 20 dBm:
iw wlan0 station set <mac-addr> txpwr limit 20

To revert the user defined tx power for a station:
iw wlan0 station set <mac-addr> txpwr auto
