Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: decrease size of ath9k.ko

The patch defines the fields of 'valid_single_stream' and 'valid' in
struct ath_rate_table as char type, so decrease the size of ath9k.ko
about 2KB.

old ath9k.ko
[...@tom-lei ath9k]$ size ath9k.ko
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  69344    3080     168   72592   11b90 ath9k.ko

new ath9k.ko
[...@tom-lei ath9k]$ size ath9k.ko
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  67304    3080     168   70552   11398 ath9k.ko

This version takes Larry's suggestion to define 'valid_single_stream'
and 'valid' as u8 instead of char.
