Control per packet Transmit Power Control (TPC) in lower drivers
according to TX power settings configured by the user. In particular TPC is
enabled if value passed in enum nl80211_tx_power_setting is
NL80211_TX_POWER_LIMITED (allow using less than specified from userspace),
whereas TPC is disabled if nl80211_tx_power_setting is set to
NL80211_TX_POWER_FIXED (use value configured from userspace)
