Subject: [RFC] mac80211:  Fix setting txpower to zero.
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 15:03:33 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191213230334.27631-1-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

With multiple VIFS ath10k, and probably others, tries to find the
minimum txpower for all vifs and uses that when setting txpower in
the firmware.

If a second vif is added and starts to scan, it's txpower is not initialized yet
and it set to zero.

ath10k had a patch to ignore zero values, but then it is impossible to actually set
txpower to zero.

So, instead initialize the txpower to -1 in mac80211, and let drivers know that
means the power has not been set and so should be ignored.

This should fix regression in:

commit 88407beb1b1462f706a1950a355fd086e1c450b6
Author: Ryan Hsu <ryanhsu@qca.qualcomm.com>

    ath10k: fix incorrect txpower set by P2P_DEVICE interface

Tested on ath10k 9984 with ath10k-ct firmware.
