This patch reduces the per rate target power eeprom reads for AR5K_EEPROM_MODE_11A from 10 to 8, as there are only 8 valid power curve entries on the eeprom. The former 10 reads lead to equal max power limits per rate and this causes an increasing distortion for all rates above 24 MBit and leads to a needless poor performance in 802.11a mode.
