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 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.

Changelog:
Changes since v2:
Use macros AR_SREV_9580_10 to select only AR9582 chips (they all
have only 2 chains) instead of more general macros AR_SREV_9580
that selects not only AR9582 but also AR9580 chips with 3 chains.
Changes since v1:
No changes, only resending through 'git send-email' instead of Gmail.
