ar9003 family unknown registers description

hi!

the ath9k list has been deprecated. use linux-wireless list instead. :)

AR_CHAN_BASE looks like it's the start of the PHY/baseband block.

Not sure about MRC - I think it's "maximum rate(?) combining" but I
don't know exactly. I'd have to go hunt it down.

BB_WATCHDOG has to do with the baseband watchdog in Osprey and later.
It's some silicon that watches for stuck states in the baseband and
resets it without the driver having to do a full chip reset every
time. It's just one bit as far as I can tell!

There's no one datasheet with every register, sorry! The driver should
be treated as authoritative.

Hope that helps!
