+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_hw: fix channel maximum power level test
+
+The tx power applied by set_txpower is limited by the CTL (conformance
+test limit) entries in the EEPROM. These can change based on the user
+configured regulatory domain.
+Depending on the EEPROM data this can cause the tx power to become too
+limited, if the original regdomain CTLs impose lowr limits than the CTLs
+of the user configured regdomain.
+
+To fix this issue, set the initial channel limits without any CTL
+restrictions and only apply the CTL at run time when setting the channel
+and the real tx power.
