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

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 28 2018 - 07:16:31 EST


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

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

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

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
