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

commit 5e31fc0815a4e2c72b1b495fe7a0d8f9bfb9e4b4 upstream.
commit eccc068e8e84c8fe997115629925e0422a98e4de Author: Hong Wu <Hong.Wu@dspg.com> Date: Wed Jan 11 20:33:39 2012 +0200
wireless: Save original maximum regulatory transmission power for the calucation of the local maximum transmit pow
changed the way we calculate chan->max_power as min(chan->max_power, chan->max_reg_power). That broke rt2x00 (and perhaps some other drivers) that do not set chan->max_power. It is not so easy to fix this problem correctly in rt2x00.
According to commit eccc068e8 changelog, change claim only to save maximum regulatory power - changing setting of chan->max_power was side effect. This patch restore previous calculations of chan->max_power and do not touch chan->max_reg_power.
