Subject: ar9170: fix bug in iq-auto calibration value calculation
From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com>

This patch fixes a embarrassing bug which was introduced by: "[PATCH]
ar9170: implement frequency calibration for one-stage/openfw"

The phy_data variable initialization has to done outside the for-loop
scope.  This is because the for-loop uses u32 phy_data variable more like
a 4-byte field.  But in each run only a single byte is calculated. 
Therefore phy_data content needs to stay the same for at least 3 more
iterations, before the complete set can be uploaded.
