I think we can actually push my patch upstream. The remaining FIXME is not relevant
for the common case and it only matters in rare circumstances (I think A-PHY only, which
isn't implemented anyway). So we can fix it later.
The patch should work properly as-is for G/N/LP-PHY.

It probably needs a rediff against a current b43, however.
