This is the same fix as
commit 841051602e3fa18ea468fe5a177aa92b6eb44b56
Author: Matteo Croce <[email protected]>

The ath9k driver subtracts 3 dBm to the txpower as with two radios the
signal power is doubled.
The resulting value is assigned in an u16 which overflows and makes
the card work at full power.
in two more places. I grepped the ath tree and didn't find any others.

RFC: Blaise Gassend actually pointed these two bugs out on 12/7/2010 but no
one fixed. There was some discussion about refactoring/improving this code,
but it never seemed to get anywhere. See this thread:
