I don't think it can actually happen.  ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit() is
called twice.  In one case, limit is MAX_RATE_POWER, in another case,
it's an argument of type u16.  Still, it's better not to have the code
that looks wrong.

ath9k_cmn_update_txpow() also has code that _looks_ wrong.  *txpower is
not assigned a value if the new power happens to be equal to the
current one.  Also, the second argument (cur_txpow) is not used.
Returning a value by a pointer seems unnecessary if the function returns
void.  It could simply return the new tx power.  I'll submit a patch
shortly.
