Subject: [PATCH 9/12] ath5k: Update phy calibration functions

* Enable I/Q calibration each time we have correction results (we were only enabling calibration during reset). If we don't we commit the same results each time calibration routine is called.
* Add some documentation and a TODO on nf calibration
* Return -EAGAIN on noise floor timeout/failure

Two spelling fixes: "according to the patent". What patent is that?
Can we use it legally?
