PATCH 7/7 ath5k: Warn on partially supported chips

*Warn on partially supported chips (eg. 5414/5424)

These chips need work on PHY part, recently Reyk posted a workaround so that they can work on 2GHz but i believe that the problem is related to PHY initialization. Plz we need help with these...

I did some tests on a 5414 at 5GHz and it seemed to work but i didn't test it at 2GHz.

I'll try to find one of these and play with.
