    wireless: Save original maximum regulatory transmission power for the calucation of the local maximum transmit power
    
    The local maximum transmit power is the maximum power a wireless device
    allowed to transmit. If Power Constraint is presented, the local maximum
    power equals to the maximum allowed power defined in regulatory domain
    minus power constraint.
    
    The maximum transmit power is maximum power a wireless device capable of
    transmitting, and should be used in Power Capability element (7.3.2.16
    IEEE802.11 2007).
    
    The transmit power from a wireless device should not greater than the
    local maximum transmit power.
    
    The maximum transmit power was not calculated correctly in the current
    Linux wireless/mac80211 when Power Constraint is presented.
