This routine is failing a lot on my AR9160. The ((reg&  0x7E7FFFEF) ==

experiencing the problem.

This forces ath9k_tasklet to reset the hardware. If I increase the
count to 500, I can eliminate most of the resets, so the hardware
isn't really hung. However, it sometimes takes over 25 milliseconds
before the test condition passes.

I don't have specs for the radio, and the numeric constants aren't
very useful, so I can't tell what condition we are waiting for or why.

Can someone with a spec shed some light on this problem?
I just posted a 4-patch series, the last patch of that should take care of this problem. Please test.
