Subject: [PATCH 4.6 001/203] cfg80211: remove get/set antenna and tx power warnings

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 6cbf6236d54c24b9a29e6892549c25b6902b44ce upstream.

Since set_tx_power and set_antenna are frequently implemented
without the matching get_tx_power/get_antenna, we shouldn't
have added warnings for those. Remove them.

The remaining ones are correct and need to be implemented
symmetrically for correct operation.

Fixes: de3bb771f471 ("cfg80211: add more warnings for inconsistent ops")
