This just ignores antenna gain as it was useless.
That actually fixes the issue of setting tx power :-). In the new
db.txt format there
is tx power is not present, so the awk script parses the tx power as
antenna gain.
Is this patch not upstream?
This patch is not upstream. You only posted it as an RFC, not a PATCH,
so it was likely never applied for that reason. Note that this patch
is from you ;-)

 Or do you mean that the db.txt format
causes an issue for 3.10 kernels which do not have this patch when the
internal regdb is used? If so that's a good corner case that I had not
considered -- the removal of the antenna gain for future releases of
db.txt obviously would have had an impact on older kernels with an awk
script expecting something different.
AFAICT, this has been an issue for any kernel (even current linus'
master) using the internal regdb since antenna gain was dropped from
regdb.txt.
