[PATCH v3 5/7] b43: add IPA TX gain table for N-PHY r8 + radio 2057 r8

Add the 2.4 GHz IPA TX gain table for N-PHY rev 8 paired with radio
2057 rev 8 and wire it to the existing dispatcher.
b43_nphy_get_ipa_gain_table() in tables_nphy.c currently handles
case 8 only for radio_rev == 5; radio_rev == 8 falls through and
the function logs:
b43-phyX ERROR: No 2GHz IPA gain table available for this device
b43-phyX ERROR: PHY init: Channel switch to default failed
leaving b43_phy_init() to return an error and core_init to abort
before the MAC is enabled.
The high byte of every entry differs from the rev 5 sibling (0x40
vs 0x30): different PAD-gain code prefix for the rev 8 front-end.
The low 24 bits coincide with rev 5 across the whole table - the
gain step amplitudes are the same, only the PAD-gain selector
prefix changes.
Values extracted from an MMIO dump of the proprietary Broadcom wl
driver running on BCM6362 silicon (wl driver 6.30.102.7).
