ath9k_hw: Fix regulatory CTL index usage for AR9003
AR9003 was not relying on the CTL indexes from the EEPROM for capping the max output power. The CTL indexes from the EEPROM provide calibrated limits for output power for each tested and supported frequency. Without this the device operates at a power level which only conforms to the transmit spectrum mask as specified by IEEE Annex I.2.3. The regulatory limit by CRDA is always used but does not provide calibrated values for optimal performance, specially on band edges. Using the calibrated data from the EEPROM ensures the device operates at optimal output power while still ensuring proper regulatory compliance. The device uses the minimum of these tree values, the value from CRDA, the calibrated value from CTL indexex, and the value to conform to the IEEE transmit spectrum mask. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
