[PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath9k_htc: derive the PHY error filter bits from software state

[Nerijus Bendžiūnas]

ath9k_htc_calcrxfilter() reads AR_RX_FILTER back from the device to keep
the PHY error bits the spectral trigger may have set. On USB that read is
a WMI round trip, and when it times out ath9k_regread() returns -1, so
the recalculated filter turns PHY error forwarding on with no scan
running and the device streams every PHY error frame at the host until
the next recalculation. The driver already knows whether a scan is
active, so set the two bits from spec_priv instead, the way ath9k
derives its filter from software state. This drops one round trip from
every filter recalculation, and the bits now go away when the scan is
disabled rather than lingering until the next reset.
