Updated patch looks ok, but two last questions... (see below)

Hmm, do you mean !!usesnr here instead of !!enable? Otherwise the
usesnr parameter goes unused and you can remove it from the parameter
list. But I think you probably meant to use it :)

Did you mean to disable TPC here when the user specified "auto" power
control? This would mean that PA gets used at every rate and TPC is
disabled, while enabling TPC here would mean TPC gets used at the
highest rate, and PA gets used at all other rates. What was your intent
here? If you really mean to use '0' here to disable TPC, you might want
to put the rationale in a comment.
Thanks!
