Re: [PATCH v4 1/3] cfg80211: Add support to set tx power for a station associated

Hi Balaji,

I started playing with these patches a bit -- they could be useful for
my use case, but I had a question:

Should this really dBm?  It's a bit asymmetric for WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL to
use mBm and this to use dBm, and I might want to adjust in half-dB steps if
supported by hardware.  Also allocating an s16 is a bit much for dBm.
