PATCH 1/1 ath5k: Correct channel setting for AR2317 chip

Correct channel setting function must be used for AR2317. When I tested ahb patch on bullet2 all seemed to work fine, but it couldn't connect another host (using ibss for example). During an analysis I observed that it's transmitting on another channel. I looked into madwifi code and understood that the problem is in channel setting function. So atheros RF2317 not fully handled in the current ath5k version and must be patched.
