when the AP is configured with HT40/2.4GHz and when PAPRD is enabled in station
we have PAPRD training frames never sent out because of the following
failure "PAPRD target power delta out of range". This consistently happens
in channel 10,11 in Over The Air testing and rarely in channel 6 under wired
setup.
the reason behind this issue is all the HT40 rates target power
are 0 when we operate in channel 10/11 at 2.4GHz

The ath9k driver subtracts 3 dBm to the txpower as with two radios the
signal power is doubled.
The resulting value is assigned in an u16 which overflows and makes
the card work at full power.

The XB113 cards are single band, 5 GHz-only, but the
default settings were configured to assume it was dual
band. Users of these cards then would see 2.4 GHz channels
but you would never get any scan results from these channels
given that the radio is not present.

With AR9003 at about ~ 10 feet from an AP that uses RTS / CTS you
will be able to associate but not not get data through given that
the power for the rates used was set too low. This increases the
power and permits data connectivity at longer distances from
access points when connected with HT40. Without this you will not
get any data through when associated to APs configured in HT40
at about more than 10 feet away.

The size of the eeprom data is 1088 bytes for AR9485. But
a sanity check is done against 4K which would result in a
'potential read past the end of the buffer' smatch complaint.

The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed
the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask
or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates
even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not
affect PAPRD operation.
The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the
other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40
packets only.
This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the
intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not
make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40
mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe
the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

The EEPROM contains scale factors for the tx power, which define
the range of allowable difference between target power and training
power. If the difference is too big, PA predistortion cannot be used.
For 2.4 GHz there is only one scale factor, for 5 GHz there are
three, depending on the specific frequency range.

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.
