AFAIU power attenuation is what you subtract from power to attenuate it, giving a lower power (attenuated power).

So here I'm basically first getting an attenuation by getting the difference between 2 gain values (as in how much do you need to attenuate the nominal UHD Tx Gain to get to the required UHD gain):
att = (desc.nom_uhd_tx_gain - tx_gain_db)

Then I'm simply applying that attenuation to get nominal output Tx power (assuming slope is 1:1 with UHD tx Gain values here), by which I get and return an attenuated power:
return desc.nom_out_tx_power - att;

I'm happy to change any terminology you feel it's more clear. That's what I'm also trying to do in this commit by also decoupling UHD Tx Gain (internal/implementation specific to the radiODevice class) and the real output power (the one the upper layers are interested in).
