ath9k_hw_4k_get_eeprom() overrides the eeprom value for txgain if the

ar9002_hw_init_mode_gain_regs() relies on this information to
determine whether this is a high power wifi card or not. The override
caused the driver to always use the 'normal' power tables even for
high power devices if their minor version was not high enough. Thus
leading to reduced power output.
This isn't needed for the AR9285; the check originated with the
AR9280 setup code which requires the EEPROM version check.

Any chance for an ACK from someone from Atheros on the ath9k team?
