From: Ashok Raj Nagarajan <arnag...@codeaurora.org>
This patch adds support to set transmit power setting type and transmit
power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION in order to facilitate
adjusting the transmit power level of a station associated to the AP.
The added attributes allow selection of automatic and limited transmit
power level, with the level defined in mBm format.
