From: Avri Altman <avri.altman@xxxxxxxxx>
Allow drivers to obtain the user's TX power restrictions in
order to be able to apply it properly on (for example)
hardware scanning which operations on a set of channels,
in which case mac80211 cannot properly apply the per-channel
regulatory limits, and the currently exposed txpower value,
which is the minimum of the user setting, channel regulatory
and possible 11h AP reduction isn't appropriate to use
since scanning is done on many channels.
Note that drivers need to be careful when using this value
and must ensure that regulatory is maintained, i.e. the
new value cannot be used as-is.
