* We configure transmit power using MAC TX_PWR_CFG_{0,...,N} registers and

* for all rates, but allow to set only 4 discrete values: -12, -6, 0 and 6 dBm.
* Reference per rate transmit power values are located in the EEPROM at
* EEPROM_TXPOWER_BYRATE offset. We adjust them and BBP R1 settings according to
* current conditions (i.e. band, bandwidth, temperature, user settings).
