Christian Lamparter d91318662d 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: ath9k: fix an IS_ERR() vs NULL check
The devm_kmemdup() function doesn't return error pointers, it returns
NULL on error.
