The calibration you refer to is the IQ offset calibration, as far as
I can tell this is a separate thing from the power table the chip uses.
In the user space implementation these values are placed in the config
file.

Perhaps we can provide both mechanisms, a DT power table and a mechanism
to set via netlink prior to opening the interface.
As these power settings are hardware dependent and certified for our
card by FCC and ETSI I would prefer to include in DT.

Agreed, so on the DT would it be appropriate to have a handle in the
sx1301 node with a link to the radio which can transmit, eg.

tx = <&radio0 0>;

Allowing for both to be transmitters if that if a hardware choice.

Yes its a bit field, just needs to be written at once. Will do.

No insights to the meaning of the bits, may just be a success constant.

An artifact of checkpatch, which wants no blank lines at the start of a 
comment block.

Variable sounds good populated from a case of tx radio types.
Note we may have a problem if we try and use a radio outside of this 
band as we may have to reinitialize the AGC to get this value in.

Looks like a success message | loaded value. I'll add that.

I believe this is the transmit choice so it is bound by hardware, if 
there is a board with two radios in the TX chain then it should be 
select-able which one to transmit. Though I'm not sure how common that 
use case will be.

I don't know if there is any shutdown procedure, I think on any open it 
needs to reinitialize.

I see you have just sent up a patch with that.
