The existing path also doesn't have any synchronization with 
out-of-band, so the same argument holds. i.e., it overwrites whatever 
set by external source.

Driver triggers resets which could relaod the whole FW. In such cases 
driver remains responsible for restoring the last known power limit. The 
current method doesn't do that.

I will add a bug fix tag as the previous patch doesn't restore the 
current limit properly.
