I certainly like the idea of providing better feedback of the
effective power level, or even the power level limit, back to users.
This patch seems to artificially limit the effective power level in
some cases, while allowing a value in excess of what would be
appropriate in others.

John, Mark's interpretation is correct, the exception here is accepted
because the driver request is being respected to override the max
regulatory power, nothing more. Felix are you observing userspace
requests overriding the orig power?

What I'm observing is that with the first regdomain setting it sets
orig_power to something that exceeds the tx power value that the
hardware is capable of using.

Can you provide me with steps to repro?

Because of that, the tx power setting reported to the user is wrong.

I see
