From: Avri Altman<avri.altman@xxxxxxxxx>
When a tx power restriction is set, mac80211 protects its downstream
stack by taking min(user, regulatory, 11h ap). However, we should allow
drivers to use that value as it is - on their own risk.
This might come handy, when tx power is set per phy. As mac80211 has
only a concept of "per-vif" tx power, it iterates over the active vifs,
and sets their tx power limit accordingly. Allowing this value to
proliferate downstream unchanged, the driver might use this legacy
api differently, e.g. to set tx power for the whole device.
Not sure if this really a good idea as default behaviour. Can't we do
this kind of stuff under some Kconfig. In cfg80211 we have the
CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS.

Guess you guys are also using Gerrit ;-)
