The problem is that when the attenuation is increased,
the rate will start to drop from MCS7 -> MCS6, and finally
will see MCS1 -> CCK_11Mbps. When the rate is changed b/w
CCK and OFDM, it will use register desired_scale to calculate
how much tx gain need to change.
The output power with the same tx gain for CCK and OFDM modulated
signals are different. This difference is constant for AR9280
but not AR9285/AR9271. It has different PA architecture
a constant. So it should be calibrated against this PA
characteristic.
The driver has to read the calibrated values from EEPROM and set
the tx power registers accordingly.

AR9280 based hardware with 3 antennas and slow antenna diversity has
not been seen in the wild and ath9k does not support that form of
antenna diversity, so remove the EEPROM ops for it.
These EEPROM ops are currently only used for setting the
AR_PHY_SWITCH_COM register, which is being done in the EEPROM specific
file already.

Throughout the code, DISABLE_REGWRITE_BUFFER is always called right after
REGWRITE_BUFFER_FLUSH. Since that's unlikely to change any time soon, that
makes keeping those ops separate rather pointless, as it only increases
code size and line number counts.

The base_eep_header_4k structure contains information that the
device supports high power tx gain table or not. However the
ath9k_hw_4k_get_eeprom function does not return that value when
it is called with EEP_TXGAIN_TYPE. This leads to that the tx gain
initialization will use the init values from the original tx gain
table even if the device inidicates that the high power table
should be used.

On AR9285, the antenna switch configuration register uses more than just
16 bits. Because of an arbitrary mask applied to the EEPROM value that
stores this configuration, diversity was broken in some cases, leading
to a significant degradation in signal strength.
Fix this by changing the callback to return a 32 bit value and remove
the arbitrary mask.

Once upon a time the AR_EEPROM_MAC macro was added to let us
add a random attribute to the three 4-bytes of MAC addresses
entries we read from the EEPROM. This was good while a random
high-enough value was used which did not conflict with any
of the already existing enum eeprom_param values. With AR9003
support the enums overlap and it means we either increment
the random offset or just restore the reading logic to match
what the HAL has. I choose to do the later to synchronize
the logic on both code bases.
This should fix reading the MAC address from the EEPROM
on AR9003 hardware.

The PHY split is easier done in a few steps. First move
the RF ops to the private ops and rename them accordingly.
We split PHY stuff up first for the AR5008 and AR9002
families. There are some callbacks that AR9002 share
with the AR5008 familiy so we set those first, if AR9002
has some different callbacks it will override them upon
hardware init.
