Hi Balaji,
I started playing with these patches a bit -- they could be useful for
my use case, but I had a question:

Should this really dBm? It's a bit asymmetric for WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL to
use mBm and this to use dBm, and I might want to adjust in half-dB steps if
supported by hardware. Also allocating an s16 is a bit much for dBm.
