I have just added TPC support to ath9k. In order to exploit that hw
feature we have to wait Thomas's algorithm :).
However in order to test patches you can set tx_power field of
ath_frame_info data structure in setup_frame_info() to a different
value (for the moment it is set to MAX_RATE_POWER) and measure the RX
power on the other end of the link (this is what I did).
