Use the inline function instead of directly indexing the array.
This allows some architectures with hardware instructions
for bit reversals to eliminate the array.

Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device:
"I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels
repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will
eventually halt. I've seen this on various versions of the carl
driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)"
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113>
The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which
according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and
really only fully debugged on some very later chips."
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380>
Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature.
The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when
changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

Drivers that don't use chanctxes cannot perform VHT association because
they still use a "backward compatibility" pair of {ieee80211_channel,
nl80211_channel_type} in ieee80211_conf and ieee80211_local.

This patch implements a simple way of reducing the
output power of the device by a configurable upper
limit.

The firmware keeps track of channel usage. This data can
be used by the automatic channel selection to find the
*best* channel.

AR9170_PWR_REG_PLL_ADDAC is used to set the main clock
divisor which affects the AHB/CPU speed. Because this
would interfere with the firmware internal timekeeping,
the function has to be moved into the firmware.

By removing two "safety" msleeps (and an echo nop), the
channel change delay is effectively halved. Previously,
the delay could be as long as 260 ms and the device
could not go off-channel without risking to miss the
next DTIM beacon [interval ~307 ms].

The driver has a set of different initvals for 20 MHz
vs dynamic HT2040 operation. Because we can't change
some of the registers "in-flight", the driver needs to
perform a warm reset.

Ever since carl9170 gained support to read the noisefloor,
the reported noisefloor level was pretty poor.
Initially I assumed that something was wrong in the PHY
setup and it would be impossible to fix without any
guidances. But this was not the case. In fact the nf
readings were correct and the thing that was broken
was the "simple" sign extension code!

The eeprom provides a mask for all present rx chains.

This patch is loosely based on an ath9k patch called:
"ath9k_hw: sync initvals for ar9001 and ar9002 with Atheros"
It includes the following changes/fixes:
- AGC setting improvements
- timing changes for improved performance
