b200: Enable power calibration API
This lets the B200 transmit and/or receive at given reference power levels. Requirement is that the devices have been separately calibrated with an external calibration device.

+\subsection b200_fe_power Power API
+
+The B200 series support the UHD power calibration API (see: \ref page_power).
+The TX path and the two RX paths have their own calibration data, resulting in
+6 sets of calibration data total for the B210, and 3 for all the others.
+
+Devices have to be manually calibrated using a calibrated power meter or
+signal generator.
