[RESEND] ath9k: fix firmware bug in some of Mikrotik R11e-2HPnD cards

[Denis Kalashnikov]

Sorry, first I sent the patch through a Gmail web interface, and spaces
were broken.
---

Some of the Mikrotik R11e-2HPnD cards have EEPROM where is
flashed that a card has 3 chains, but actually all this cards
have only 2. This leads ath9k to write periodically into the logs:
'ath: phy0: Unable to reset channel, reset status -5' and
stations don't see that AP.

Mikrotik R11e-2HPnD is based on AR9582 chip.
