[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: net: wireless: mt76: add power-limits node

[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: net: wireless: mt76: add power-limits node

[Felix Fietkau]

This subnode can be used to set per-rate tx power limits either per
country code / regdomain or globally.
These limits are typically provided by the device manufacturers and are
used to limit sideband emissions and stay within regulatory limits

v2:
 - merge 802.11ax rate changes from Shayne's patch
 - document txs-delta property

+- mcs:
+	sets of per-rate power limit values for 802.11n/802.11ac rates for

+	Each set starts with the number of channel bandwidth settings for

+	10 (all other chips) power limit values.
+	The order of the channel bandwidth settings is: 20, 40, 80, 160 MHz.

I think Shayne's s-o-b should follow the Co-developed-by line.
