mt7996 firmware does not apply uploaded SKU and backoff power tables unless
the corresponding UNI_CMD(TXPOWER) controls are enabled. Enable the SKU and
backoff controls in the normal run path and upload the mt7996 backoff table
using the firmware table layout used by the MediaTek SDK.
Keep the mt7996 backoff layout private instead of resizing the shared mt76
power-limit structure used by older connac chipsets. Continue to respect
chan->max_reg_power when initializing channel power.
