ath9k: nvmem for ath9k caldata

With "getting WIFI MAC from NVMEM" working on ath79 on 5.10,
the next logical step I think is to utilize nvmem subsystem
to also get the calibration data from there.

This will tremendously speed up the wifi bring-up, since
we no longer need the userspace helper for the simple
devices that can just load them from there.

included with this patch is a package/mac80211/refresh.

Tested on: WNDR3700v2, TP-Link Archer C7v2

Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fetch calibration data via nvmem subsystem
On most embedded ath9k devices (like range extenders,
routers, accesspoints, ...) the calibration data is
stored in a MTD partitions named "ART", or "caldata"/
"calibration".
Ever since commit
4b361cfa8624 ("mtd: core: add OTP nvmem provider support")
all MTD partitions are all automatically available through
the nvmem subsystem. This allows drivers like ath9k to read
the necessary data without needing any userspace helpers
that would do this extraction.

Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: owl-loader: fetch pci init values through nvmem
extends the owl loader to fetch important pci initialization
values - which are stored together with the calibration data -
through the nvmem subsystem.
This allows for much faster WIFI/ath9k initializations on devices
that do not require to perform any post-processing (like XOR'ing/
reversal or unpacking) since no userspace helper is required.
