Driver does not support get_txpower mac ops because of which
cfg80211 returns vif->bss_conf.txpower to user space. bss_conf.txpower
gets its value from ieee80211_channel->max_reg_power. However, the final
txpower is dependent on few other parameters apart from max regulatory
supported power. It is the firmware which knows about all these
parameters and considers the minimum for each packet transmission.

All ath11k firmware reports the final tx power in firmware pdev stats
which falls under fw_stats.

Add get_txpower mac ops to get the tx power from firmware leveraging
fw_stats and return it accordingly.

suggest you use an = {} initializer here.

and remove this explicit setting of an unused param to 0 since it will not be needed if the entire struct is zeroed. the reason for this approach is that if, in the future, any additional fields are added to the struct, you don't want to have a situation where you forget to add code to clear the new fields, and as a result you potentially leak stack memory contents to firmware, which is a security hole.

IMO this is misleading. technically pdev->chan_tx_power is the txpower from firmware, *dbm is the derived power after converting units. maybe that is splitting hairs, but when debugging issues you usually want to be very clear about what is the raw data and what is the calculated data

Also follow ath11k coding style for debug messages (which follows ath10k) which does not allow colons

so I'd suggest "txpower from firmware %d reported %d"

I'd log *dbm here as well
