commit aa8bc9ef18a2c5b2b97e1f36ee9604cf15743f96 upstream.

Among other changes, this commit:

   commit 06d0f0663e11cab4ec5f2c143a118d71a12fbbe9

   ath9k: Enable Fractional N mode

changed the hw attach code to fix up initialization values only for
dual band devices, however the commit message did not give a reason as
to why this would be useful or necessary.

According to tests by Jorge Boncompte, this breaks at least some
2GHz-only cards, so the code should be changed back to the
unconditional INI fixup.
