    iwlwifi: support per-platform antenna gain · 6ce1e5c0
    Gil Adam authored
    TX power limits as defined in the OTP assume the worst case scenario
    in terms of the platform's atenna gain, but most platforms are below
    that value so they can use more TX power without passing the regulatory
    limit. If the platform indicates in the BIOS that it indeed has lower
    gain, and the geographic location allows it, higher TX power can be
    used. The driver reads the PPAG (Per-Platform Antenna Gain) data from
    BIOS (if it exists), validates it and sends the appropriate command to
    the FW. This flow happens once at FW init, in case of suspend/resume
    there is no need to read again from BIOS as we save those values during
    init, so just send the PPAG command again to FW.
