I agree with Jason. It is an internal state used to calibrate tx power. I
don't think we need to expose it to user, particulary in the case we don't
know exactly what it represents (it may be fahrenheit but there is no
evidence about it). The Linux driver written by Intel doesn't give more
information about it :(.
