From: Erik Conijn <egc112@msn.com>

The PHY latches a 32-bit table entry on the access to the low data
register, as b43's N-PHY table code and Broadcom's wlc_phy_read_table
assume. The HT-PHY code read the high half first and got the stale high
half of the previous access: TX gain table entry 0x1a/0xc0 0x10f90040
read back as 0x10190040, so b43_phy_ht_tx_power_fix() programmed a
corrupted radio gain word.
