This patch reduces the per rate target power eeprom reads for AR5K_EEPROM_MODE_11A from 10 to 8, as there are only 8 valid power curve entries on the eeprom. The former 10 reads lead to wrong per rate power limits where rates above 24MBit could be amplified with to high distortion leading to bad performance. This was fix validated against the madwifi codebase and a new AR5K_EEPROM_N_5GHZ_RATE_CHAN 8 is defined.
