We should not do temperature compensation on devices without
EXTERNAL_TX_ALC bit set (called DynamicTxAgcControl on vendor driver).
Such devices can have totally bogus TSSI parameters on the EEPROM,
but are still treated by us as valid and results in wrong TX power
calculations.

This fixes inability to connect to AP on slightly longer distance on
some Ralink chips/devices without EXTERNAL_TX_ALC configured.

v1 -> v2: fix changelog

John,

If possible this should go to 3.11, -next & cc -stable is also fine as
usual.

Note that in -next version of the patch rt2x00_eeprom_read() should
be changed to rt2800_eeprom_read() do to commit
