That's the configured regulatory limit. There's no way for the driver
to say exactly what the maximum TX power is for each configured rate
for the current channel.

(Or, when we eventually support per-packet TPC, what the
minimum/maximum TX power range is for each peer node.)

That's a nice project for someone who'd like to get more familiar with net80211.
