Well, AFAIK all we know about function is:
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/802.11/PHY/N/UpdateTxCalLadder

It updates something on wireless card writing table 15. It's hard to
understand what it really does, especially if you don't yet have
contexts calling this function.

P.S.
Also John's comment:
<linville> "calculate TX IQ LO" -- I like that better

So definitely I will avoid putting just function names. However as I
said, I don't think I will be able to be more descriptive :/
