Simon Wunderlich 4e7a3fa539 ath9k: FFT magnitude check: don't consider lower 3 data bits
There were a lot of Magnitude Mismatch while getting FFT samples on my
hardware (Atheros AR9462. I've compared the reported magnitude with
the data in the FFT bin, and the FFT bin was less accurate:

[ 5395.193030] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x89,max_mag_idx 28,

,magnitude 0x53 max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x50
[ 5395.210940] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x40,max_mag_idx 28,
,magnitude 0x40 max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x40
[ 5395.212441] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x59,max_mag_idx 28,
,magnitude 0x59 max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x58

[ 5395.215428] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x7D,max_mag_idx 28,
,magnitude 0x7D max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x78
[ 5395.216910] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x8C,max_mag_idx 28,
,magnitude 0x8C max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x88
[ 5395.218413] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x7B,max_mag_idx 28,
,magnitude 0x7B max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x78
[ 5395.219900] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x43,max_mag_idx 28,
,magnitude 0x43 max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x40

It seems like the lower 3 bits on my hardware are always zeroed, but the
magnitude matches otherwise. Therefore, let's not make the magnitude
check so strict so we can get those samples released to userspace.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
