Thanks for the patch!  A few things...

Can we rename this to lbs_set_tpc_cfg()?  It's a setter, and there could
be a getter later, best to be clear about this.

Same here, can we change this to lbs_set_pa_cfg() or
lbs_set_power_adapt_cfg() ?

And this isn't compatible with the V9 and later firmware, which uses the
PowerAdapt_Group_t Marvell IE.  I'd suggest defining two different
commands, one for V8 and below which uses the format you have here, and
one for V9 and above which uses the new format.  I have no idea what the
fields in PA_Group_t are, but I'm sure you can find out since you're
from CozyBit :)

Should also:

#define CMD_802_11_POWER_ADAPT_CFG_EXT  0x0073   /* v9 firmware and above */

and use that in the v9+ lbs_set_power_adapt_cfg_ext() function.

And for v9:

struct pa_group {
	u16 level;
	u16 rate_map;
	u32 reserved;
}

struct mrvl_ie_pa_group {
	mrvlietypes_header hdr;
	struct pa_group groups[5];
}

struct cmd_ds_802_11_pa_cfg_ext {
	struct cmd_header hdr;

	__le16 action;
	u16 enable;
	struct mrvl_ie_pa_group pa_groups;
}

note that there isn't an existing GPL implementation of
POWER_ADAPT_CFG_EXT either at moblin or anywhere else, so I can't
suggest what to fill in for the rate_map and level of struct pa_group in
the implementation.  Ask Luis or Javier I guess since they probably have
access to that information.

and do the firmware check right here and call lbs_set_power_adapt_cfg()
for V8 and lower, and lbs_set_power_adapt_cfg_ext() for v9 and higher
like so:

if (priv->fwrelease >= 0x09000000) {
	ret = lbs_power_adapt_cfg_ext(...);
} else {
	ret = lbs_power_adapt_cfg(...);
}

Thanks again!
