ath79: mikrotik: fix beeper phantom noise on RB912

Browse Source 
Analysis done by Denis Kalashnikov:

It seems that some ROS versions on some routerboard models have this bug:
after silence boot (no output to uart, no beeps) beeper clicks when wireless traffic is.

From these links:

1)
Hello, I have RB951G-2HnD and I noticed strange thing
when I loaded the device with some wireless traffic it
produced strange sound - like hissing, fizzing etc.

2)
Same problem still on 6.33, with silent boot enabled
I hear buzzing noise on wireless load.

3)
The sound is fixed in v5.19, it was a bug that caused beeper to make clicks.

It also got fixed in RouterOS:

* What's new in 5.19 (2012-Jul-16 10:51):
fix ticking sound on RB411UAHL;

* What's new in 6.38.3 (2017-Feb-07 09:52):
rb3011 - fixed noise from buzzer after silent boot;

I've checked with an oscilloscope that:
* When on the ssr beeper pin is 0,
  on the beeper itself is 1 (~5V),
  and when on the ssr beeper pin is 1,
  on the beeper is 0
  The beeper doesn't consume power,
  so 1 should be a default/idle value for the ssr beeper pin).
* When there is wireless traffic (ping packets)
  in the background and the beeper clicks, I see
  pulses on the beeper itself,
  but no pulses on the ssr beeper pin (Q5 pin of 74hc595).
  When I manually toggle the ssr beeper pin I see pulses on both.
  So, it is likely that the phantom beeper clicks are caused by the EMI.
