Subject: [ 050/104] rt2x00: Fix transmit power troubles on some Ralink RT30xx cards

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

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

From: "Alex A. Mihaylov" <minimumlaw@...bler.ru>

commit 7e9dafd873034dd64ababcb858be424c4780ae13 upstream.

Some cards on Ralink RT30xx chipset not have correctly TX_MIXER_GAIN
value in them EEPROM/EFUSE. In this case, we must use default value,
but always used EEPROM/EFUSE value. As result we have tranmitt power
range from -10dBm to +6dBm instead 0dBm to +16dBm.

Correctly value in EEPROM/EFUSE is one or more for RT3070 and two or
more for other RT30xx chips.

Tested on Canyon CNP-WF518N1 usb Wi-Fi dongle and Jorjin WN8020 usb
embedded Wi-Fi module.
