Subject: mac80211: Fix setting TX power on monitor interfaces
From: "Peter Große" <pegro@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 3a3713ec360138f806c6fc368d1de570f692b347 ]
Instead of calling ieee80211_recalc_txpower on monitor interfaces
directly, call it using the virtual monitor interface, if one exists.
In case of a single monitor interface given, reject setting TX power,
if no virtual monitor interface exists.
That being checked, don't warn in ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify,
after setting TX power on a monitor interface.
Fixes warning:
