With multiple VIFS ath10k, and probably others, tries to find the
minimum txpower for all vifs and uses that when setting txpower in
the firmware.

If a second vif is added and starts to scan, it's txpower is not initialized yet
and it set to zero.

ath10k had a patch to ignore zero values, but then it is impossible to actually set
txpower to zero.

So, instead initialize the txpower to -1 in mac80211, and let drivers know that
means the power has not been set and so should be ignored.

This should fix regression in:

    ath10k: fix incorrect txpower set by P2P_DEVICE interface

Tested on ath10k 9984 with ath10k-ct firmware.

v2:  Use INT_MIN instead of -1 to mean invalid value

All these driver changes worry me a bit - wouldn't that affect other
drivers as well?

The goal was to NOT adversely affect the drivers when the default (not-set)
value changed.

I changed the name of the variable and then touched every driver that used it
as a way of making sure that I found everything in the tree.

Hopefully that found everything...  I did not specifically test ath9k, only ath10k
driver with this change.

(I then changed the variable name back before submitting the patch).

Thanks,
Ben

Right.

OK, great, thanks :)

Come to think of it, I did not do an 'all mod config' build, so possibly I missed some
things.  I think my kernel compiles most of the drivers though.

Thanks,
Ben
