TX power limits as defined in the OTP assume the worst case scenario in terms of the platform's atenna gain, but most platforms are below that value so they can use more TX power without passing the regulatory limit. If the platform indicates in the BIOS that it indeed has lower gain, and the geographic location allows it, higher TX power can be used. The driver reads the PPAG (Per-Platform Antenna Gain) data from BIOS (if it exists), validates it and sends the appropriate command to the FW. This flow happens once at FW init, in case of suspend/resume there is no need to read again from BIOS as we save those values during init, so just send the PPAG command again to FW.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
