This patch adds basic TX power control for the MT7620 and limits its
maximum TX power. This can avoid the link speed decrease caused by
chip overheating.

Changes since v1:
* To avoid developers misunderstanding it, rename rt2800_config_alc() to
rt2800_config_alc_rt6352() since it's only used by RT6352(AKA MT7620).

+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rt2x00: limit MT7620 TX power based on eeprom
+ calibration
+
+In the vendor driver, the current channel power is queried from
+EEPROM_TXPOWER_BG1 and EEPROM_TXPOWER_BG2. And then the mixed value
+will be written into the low half-word of the TX_ALC_CFG_0 register.
+The high half-word of the TX_ALC_CFG_0 is a fixed value 0x2f2f.
+
+We can't get the accurate TX power. Based on my tests and the new
+MediaTek mt76 driver source code, the real TX power is approximately
+equal to channel_power + (max) rate_power. Usually max rate_power is
+the gain of the OFDM 6M rate, which can be readed from the offset
+EEPROM_TXPOWER_BYRATE +1.
+
+Based on these eeprom values, this patch adds basic TX power control
+for the MT7620 and limits its maximum TX power. This can avoid the
+link speed decrease caused by chip overheating. rt2800_config_alc()
+function has also been renamed to rt2800_config_alc_rt6352() because
+it's only used by RT6352(MT7620).
+
+Notice:
+It's still need some work to sync the max channel power to the user
+interface. This part is missing from the rt2x00 driver structure. If
+we set the power exceed the calibration value, it won't take effect.
