Subject[070/264] ath9k: disable unnecessary PHY error reporting
3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>

commit ac06697c79bad09e44a8b1d52104014016fb90de upstream.

PHY errors relevant for ANI are always tracked by hardware counters, the
bits that allow them to pass through the rx filter are independent of that.
Enabling PHY errors in the rx filter often creates lots of useless DMA traffic
and might be responsible for some of the rx dma stop failure warnings.
