Subject[PATCH 3.13 169/198] b43: fix frequency reported on G-PHY with /new/ firmware
Date
3.13.11.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= <zajec5@gmail.com>

commit 2fc68eb122c7ea6cd5be1fe7d6650c0beb2f4f40 upstream.

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:
