ath9k_common: remove ath9k_compute_qual() 



This is now deprecated and unused within mac80211, so time
to remove it as otherwise we'd be doing some unecessary
computations for nothing.

/*

 * Theory for reporting quality:

 *

 * At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7  reliably.

 * At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.

 * At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.

 *

 * MCS 7  is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.

 * MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.

 *

 * All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.

 *

 * How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.

 *

 * A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables

 * of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table

 * you can refer to the wireless wiki:

 *

 * http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n
