How did you come up with 70 mBm as the limit.  This is only 7dBm?

I would expect it to match the range of normal tx-power which is likely up to
30 dBm or so on some NICs (not counting regulatory limit).


I think I will have to re-word the commit log a bit. ath10k driver would get the value in dBm only and the range is from 0 to 70 dBm. Looking at the db.txt, I see a max value of 44 dm for a 60GHz channel. SO to be little future proof having a greater acceptable range from user. The final tx power will be calculated based on this extra parameter the user passes on, including the regulatory limit for the channel.
