ath5k: don't use PCI ID to find the chip revision

Browse source

AR5K_SREV is available even if the chip has been put to sleep.  Relying
on the chip register allows binding non-standard PCI IDs by

echo VENDOR_ID PRODUCT_ID >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ath5k/new_id

without having to specify the driver data as well.
