Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: correct handling of rx status fields

ath5k_rx_status fields rs_antenna and rs_more are u8s, but we
were setting them with bitwise ANDs of 32-bit values.

As a consequence, jumbo frames would not be discarded as intended.
Then, because the hw rate value of such frames is zero, and, since
63266a653589e1a237527479f10212ea77ce7844 "ath5k: rates cleanup",
we do not fall back to the basic rate, such packets would trigger
the following WARN_ON:
