[PATCH 7/9] mac80211: suppress unchanged "limiting TX power" messages

[Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When the AP is advertising limited TX power, the message can be
printed over and over again. Suppress it when the power level
isn't changing.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106011
