This fixes a few misspellings, word repetitions, and some grammar
nits in ath5k comments.  No code changes.

4f424867dd ath5k: print error message if ANI levels are out of range
Since we have sysfs to manually set the ANI levels, we should print errors to
the kernel log if the values are out of bounds.

9537a16233 ath5k: always calculate ANI listen time
Calculate 'listen' time also when automatic ANI is off, since this and the
"busy" time is useful information also in manual mode.

05e8594d55 ath5k: several off by one range checks
There are several places that use > ARRAY_SIZE() instead of
>= ARRAY_SIZE().

2111ac0d88 ath5k: Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) Implementation
This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.

This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
  * set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
	echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
  * set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
	echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
  * automatically control immunity (default):
	echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
  * to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
	cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani

Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.

This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.
