Subject: [PATCH 4.14 29/36] iwlwifi: mvm: dont send GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT to old firmwares

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

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

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>

commit eca1e56ceedd9cc185eb18baf307d3ff2e4af376 upstream.

Old firmware versions don't support this command. Sending it
to any firmware before -41.ucode will crash the firmware.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201975

Fixes: 66e839030fd6 ("iwlwifi: fix wrong WGDS_WIFI_DATA_SIZE")
