/**
* To calculate a txpower setting for a given desired target txpower, channel,
* modulation bit rate, and transmitter chain (4965 has 2 transmitters to
* support MIMO and transmit diversity), driver must do the following:
*
* 1) Compare desired txpower vs. (EEPROM) regulatory limit for this channel.
* Do not exceed regulatory limit; reduce target txpower if necessary.
*
* If setting up txpowers for MIMO rates (rate indexes 8-15, 24-31),
* 2 transmitters will be used simultaneously; driver must reduce the
* regulatory limit by 3 dB (half-power) for each transmitter, so the
* combined total output of the 2 transmitters is within regulatory limits.
*
*
* 2) Compare target txpower vs. (EEPROM) saturation txpower *reduced by
* backoff for this bit rate*. Do not exceed (saturation - backoff[rate]);
* reduce target txpower if necessary.
*
* Backoff values below are in 1/2 dB units (equivalent to steps in
* txpower gain tables):
*
* OFDM 6 - 36 MBit: 10 steps (5 dB)
* OFDM 48 MBit: 15 steps (7.5 dB)
* OFDM 54 MBit: 17 steps (8.5 dB)
* OFDM 60 MBit: 20 steps (10 dB)
* CCK all rates: 10 steps (5 dB)
*
* Backoff values apply to saturation txpower on a per-transmitter basis;
* when using MIMO (2 transmitters), each transmitter uses the same
* saturation level provided in EEPROM, and the same backoff values;
* no reduction (such as with regulatory txpower limits) is required.
*
* Saturation and Backoff values apply equally to 20 Mhz (legacy) channel
* widths and 40 Mhz (.11n fat) channel widths; there is no separate
* factory measurement for fat channels.
*
* The result of this step is the final target txpower. The rest of
* the steps figure out the proper settings for the device to achieve
* that target txpower.
*
*
* 3) Determine (EEPROM) calibration subband for the target channel, by
* comparing against first and last channels in each subband
* (see struct iwl4965_eeprom_calib_subband_info).
*
*
* 4) Linearly interpolate (EEPROM) factory calibration measurement sets,
* referencing the 2 factory-measured (sample) channels within the subband.
*
* Interpolation is based on difference between target channel's frequency
* and the sample channels' frequencies. Since channel numbers are based
* on frequency (5 MHz between each channel number), this is equivalent
* to interpolating based on channel number differences.
*
* Note that the sample channels may or may not be the channels at the
* edges of the subband. The target channel may be "outside" of the
* span of the sampled channels.
*
* Driver may choose the pair (for 2 Tx chains) of measurements (see
* struct iwl4965_eeprom_calib_ch_info) for which the actual measured
* txpower comes closest to the desired txpower. Usually, though,
* the middle set of measurements is closest to the regulatory limits,
* and is therefore a good choice for all txpower calculations (this
* assumes that high accuracy is needed for maximizing legal txpower,
* while lower txpower configurations do not need as much accuracy).
*
* Driver should interpolate both members of the chosen measurement pair,
* i.e. for both Tx chains (radio transmitters), unless the driver knows
* that only one of the chains will be used (e.g. only one tx antenna
* connected, but this should be unusual). The rate scaling algorithm
* switches antennas to find best performance, so both Tx chains will
* be used (although only one at a time) even for non-MIMO transmissions.
*
* Driver should interpolate factory values for temperature, gain table
* index, and actual power. The power amplifier detector values are
* not used by the driver.
*
* Sanity check: If the target channel happens to be one of the sample
* channels, the results should agree with the sample channel's
* measurements!
*
*
* 5) Find difference between desired txpower and (interpolated)
* factory-measured txpower. Using (interpolated) factory gain table index
* (shown elsewhere) as a starting point, adjust this index lower to
* increase txpower, or higher to decrease txpower, until the target
* txpower is reached. Each step in the gain table is 1/2 dB.
*
* For example, if factory measured txpower is 16 dBm, and target txpower
* is 13 dBm, add 6 steps to the factory gain index to reduce txpower
* by 3 dB.
*
*
* 6) Find difference between current device temperature and (interpolated)
* factory-measured temperature for sub-band. Factory values are in
* degrees Celsius. To calculate current temperature, see comments for
* "4965 temperature calculation".
*
* If current temperature is higher than factory temperature, driver must
* increase gain (lower gain table index), and vice versa.
*
* Temperature affects gain differently for different channels:
*
* 2.4 GHz all channels: 3.5 degrees per half-dB step
* 5 GHz channels 34-43: 4.5 degrees per half-dB step
* 5 GHz channels >= 44: 4.0 degrees per half-dB step
*
* NOTE: Temperature can increase rapidly when transmitting, especially
* with heavy traffic at high txpowers. Driver should update
* temperature calculations often under these conditions to
* maintain strong txpower in the face of rising temperature.
*
*
* 7) Find difference between current power supply voltage indicator
* (from "initialize alive") and factory-measured power supply voltage
* indicator (EEPROM).
*
* If the current voltage is higher (indicator is lower) than factory
* voltage, gain should be reduced (gain table index increased) by:
*
* (eeprom - current) / 7
*
* If the current voltage is lower (indicator is higher) than factory
* voltage, gain should be increased (gain table index decreased) by:
*
* 2 * (current - eeprom) / 7
*
* If number of index steps in either direction turns out to be > 2,
* something is wrong ... just use 0.
*
* NOTE: Voltage compensation is independent of band/channel.
*
* NOTE: "Initialize" uCode measures current voltage, which is assumed
* to be constant after this initial measurement. Voltage
* compensation for txpower (number of steps in gain table)
* may be calculated once and used until the next uCode bootload.
*
*
* 8) If setting up txpowers for MIMO rates (rate indexes 8-15, 24-31),
* adjust txpower for each transmitter chain, so txpower is balanced
* between the two chains. There are 5 pairs of tx_atten[group][chain]
* values in "initialize alive", one pair for each of 5 channel ranges:
*
* Group 0: 5 GHz channel 34-43
* Group 1: 5 GHz channel 44-70
* Group 2: 5 GHz channel 71-124
* Group 3: 5 GHz channel 125-200
* Group 4: 2.4 GHz all channels
*
* Add the tx_atten[group][chain] value to the index for the target chain.
* The values are signed, but are in pairs of 0 and a non-negative number,
* so as to reduce gain (if necessary) of the "hotter" channel. This
* avoids any need to double-check for regulatory compliance after
* this step.
*
*
* 9) If setting up for a CCK rate, lower the gain by adding a CCK compensation
* value to the index:
*
* Hardware rev B: 9 steps (4.5 dB)
* Hardware rev C: 5 steps (2.5 dB)
*
* Hardware rev for 4965 can be determined by reading CSR_HW_REV_WA_REG,
* bits [3:2], 1 = B, 2 = C.
*
* NOTE: This compensation is in addition to any saturation backoff that
* might have been applied in an earlier step.
*
*
* 10) Select the gain table, based on band (2.4 vs 5 GHz).
*
* Limit the adjusted index to stay within the table!
*
*
* 11) Read gain table entries for DSP and radio gain, place into appropriate
* location(s) in command (struct iwl4965_txpowertable_cmd).

* Gain tables.
*
* The following tables contain pair of values for setting txpower, i.e.
* gain settings for the output of the device's digital signal processor (DSP),
* and for the analog gain structure of the transmitter.
*
* Each entry in the gain tables represents a step of 1/2 dB. Note that these
* are *relative* steps, not indications of absolute output power. Output
* power varies with temperature, voltage, and channel frequency, and also
* requires consideration of average power (to satisfy regulatory constraints),
* and peak power (to avoid distortion of the output signal).
*
* Each entry contains two values:
* 1) DSP gain (or sometimes called DSP attenuation). This is a fine-grained
* linear value that multiplies the output of the digital signal processor,
* before being sent to the analog radio.
* 2) Radio gain. This sets the analog gain of the radio Tx path.
* It is a coarser setting, and behaves in a logarithmic (dB) fashion.
*
* EEPROM contains factory calibration data for txpower. This maps actual
* measured txpower levels to gain settings in the "well known" tables
* below ("well-known" means here that both factory calibration *and* the
* driver work with the same table).
*
* There are separate tables for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The 5 GHz table
* has an extension (into negative indexes), in case the driver needs to
* boost power setting for high device temperatures (higher than would be
* present during factory calibration). A 5 Ghz EEPROM index of "40"
* corresponds to the 49th entry in the table used by the driver.
