Hi, can you please describe some testcases for you patches.

This patchset adds Transmission Power Control (TPC) for AR9002 based
chips. IOW it enables the capability of correct TX power on per-packet
basis. It is preparatory for upcoming Thomas's joint rate and power
control
 algorithm.

Do you mean, right now there is no way to test your patches?

I have just added TPC support to ath9k. In order to exploit that hw
feature we have to wait Thomas's algorithm :).
However in order to test patches you can set tx_power field of
ath_frame_info data structure in setup_frame_info() to a different
value (for the moment it is set to MAX_RATE_POWER) and measure the RX
power on the other end of the link (this is what I did).

Regards,
Lorenzo

This patchset adds TPC capability to ath9k for AR9002 based chips

*[RFC 1/3]: add TX power per-rate tables to cap TX power in TX descriptor path
*[RFC 2/3]: cap per-packet TX power according to TX power per-rate tables
*[RFC 3/3]: enable per-packet TPC on AR9002 based chips by default

This pachset is based on Adrian Chadd's hints
