From ae16fc3c3184bf27f0462e1951df918122498829 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wey-Yi Guy Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:56:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: eliminate the possible 1/2 dBm tx power loss in 6x00 & 6x50 series In both 6x00 and 6x50 series, the enhanced/extended tx power table in EEPROM is used to set the max. tx power limit. This new tx power table is in 1/2 dBm format, which creates an issue of possibility of 1/2 dBm loss when driver set the tx power limit; because of driver keep track and report the tx power in dBm format. In order to prevent the 1/2 dBm loss, keep track of the true max tx power in 1/2 dBm format in driver; do the comparison and adjust the tx power if needed when send tx power command to uCode.
