Which registers do control power and where are they written?
We don't know - we program the vendor driver with the default map that the vendor driver supplies, based on RF type. e.g. see zd_rf_al2230.c zd1211_al2230_init_hw()
The vendor driver does do some kind of TX power calibration, but it is not in absolute terms. Instead it is done in increments based on the current level. So, if we studied the vendor driver enough we might be able to figure out how to make the TX frames be transmitted with slightly higher or lower power, but there's no way we'd be able to TX at a specific strength measured in dBm. (the long term plan is to port such functionality over from the vendor driver, but there are also many other items on the list)
I do not recall the vendor driver imposing any TX power restrictions based on regulatory domain, which is the discussion at hand. So, I don't think we'll be implementing regdomain-based TX power restrictions in zd1211rw. That said, patches considered, if someone does manage to figure it out :)
