    ieee802154: add TX power control to wpan_phy · 9b2777d6
    Phoebe Buckheister authored
    Replace the current u8 transmit_power in wpan_phy with s8 transmit_power.
    The u8 field contained the actual tx power and a tolerance field,
    which no physical radio every used. Adjust sysfs entries to keep
    compatibility with userspace, give tolerances of +-1dB statically there.
    
    This patch only adds support for this in the at86rf230 driver and the
    RF212 chip. Configuration calculation for RF212 is also somewhat basic,
    but does the job - the RF212 datasheet gives a large table with
    suggested values for combinations of TX power and page/channel, if this
    does not work well, we might have to copy the whole table.
