From: "Peter Große" pegro@friiks.de
[ Upstream commit 3a3713ec360138f806c6fc368d1de570f692b347 ]
Instead of calling ieee80211_recalc_txpower on monitor interfaces directly, call it using the virtual monitor interface, if one exists.
In case of a single monitor interface given, reject setting TX power, if no virtual monitor interface exists.
That being checked, don't warn in ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify, after setting TX power on a monitor interface.
