New Revision: 219894

Log:
The AR5416+ chips all have MIB counters (which the AR5416 ANI code assumes)
so there's no need to enable the RX of invalid frames just to do ANI.
The if_ath code and AR5212 ANI code setup the RX filter bits to enable
receiving OFDM/CCK errors if the device doesn't have the hardware
MIB counters. It isn't initialising it for the AR5416+ because all of
those chips have hardware MIB counters.
This fixes the odd (and performance affecting!) situation where if ani
is enabled (via sysctl dev.ath.X.intmit) then suddenly there's be a very
large volume of phy errors - which is good to track, but not what was
intended. Since each PHY error is a received (0 length) frame, it can
significantly tie up the RX side of things.
