The systemd journal fills up with messages like this: maalis 27 10:07:54 computer kernel: wlp2s0: Limiting TX power to 20 (20 - 0) dBm as advertised by xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx These messages appear every few seconds. The advertising device is an Android phone.

yeah I guess these aren't all that interesting ... want to post a patch? :)
No problem...
