<title>b43: fix frequency reported on G-PHY with /new/ firmware</title>

Support for firmware rev 508+ was added years ago, but we never noticed
it reports channel in a different way for G-PHY devices. Instead of
offset from 2400 MHz it simply passes channel id (AKA hw_value).

So far it was (most probably) affecting monitor mode users only, but
the following recent commit made it noticeable for quite everybody:

commit 3afc2167f60a327a2c1e1e2600ef209a3c2b75b7

    cfg80211/mac80211: ignore signal if the frame was heard on wrong channel

This fixes regression introduced by adding some G-PHY devices to the
list of dual band devices. There is simply no support for 5 GHz on
G-PHY devices in b43. It results in:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 79 at drivers/net/wireless/b43/phy_g.c:75 b43_gphy_channel_switch+0x125/0x130 [b43]()
b43-phy1 ERROR: PHY init: Channel switch to default failed

Regression was introduced by the following commit:

PHY has to be often re-initialized (e.g. during band switching after PHY
reset), however some operations have to be performed only once (only
power reset affects them).

Broadcom hardware uses a bit tricky hw_value-s for 5 GHz channels,
values 184-228 are used for 4920-5140 MHz center frequencies. Normally
you expect channels 7-16 (e.g. 5060 MHz is channel 12, not 212). We never
meant to register hw_value 228 with freq 6140 MHz (5000 + 228 * 5).
