    ath9k: fix power limits on init
    
    The tx power applied by set_txpower is limited by the CTL (conformance
    test limit) entries in the EEPROM. These can change based on the user
    configured regulatory domain.
    Depending on the EEPROM data this can cause the tx power to become too
    limited, if the original regdomain CTLs impose lowr limits than the CTLs
    of the user configured regdomain.
    
    To fix this issue, set the initial channel limits without any CTL
    restrictions and only apply the CTL at run time when setting the channel
    and the real tx power.
