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.
