Subject: [ 34/95] ath9k_hw: prevent writes to const data on AR9160

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>

commit 9bbb8168ed3d8b946f9c1901a63a675012de88f2 upstream.

Duplicate the data for iniAddac early on, to avoid having to do redundant
memcpy calls later. While we're at it, make AR5416 < v2.2 use the same
codepath. Fixes a reported crash on x86.
