Modifying the interface used to lower the tx power level for meeting SAR requirements based on recommendation from the nexus hardware team. The previous interface passed in a single power value in dBm for meeting SAR requirements. However, the SAR requirements are more complex than that. Based on the connection mode (802.11 a,b,g,n,ac) and the number of streams that are active (MIMO), the SAR power levels are very different. Using the previous interface would mean that we will have to use the lowest power level among all the connection modes to meet the SAR requirements. This would however result in us lowering the power much more than needed (~2 dBm) for many connection modes. Instead, we're switching to a more generic interface where the framework informs the wifi chip that we're entering a special tx power mode scenario (today, there is only 1 for voice call). The chip can then lookup the extensive table of power levels for different connection modes which are pre-populated by the OEM's in the BDF file to set the power level (depending on the scenario framework sends and the active connection mode).
