Alessio Ferri 2135261219 b43: add RF power offset for N-PHY r8 + radio 2057 r8
Add the 2.4 GHz RF power offset table for N-PHY rev 8 paired with
radio 2057 rev 8 and wire it to the existing dispatcher.

b43_ntab_get_rf_pwr_offset_table() currently dispatches on phy->rev
== 17 (radio_rev 14) and phy->rev == 16 (radio_rev 9) for 2.4 GHz.
phy->rev == 8 falls through and the function logs:

    b43-phyX ERROR: No 2GHz RF power table available for this device

Add a phy->rev == 8 / radio_rev == 8 case returning the new table.

The values are sourced from the proprietary Broadcom wl driver's
nphy_papd_padgain_dlt_2g_2057rev5 array. Reusing the rev 5 values
is structurally appropriate: the IPA TX gain table added by the
preceding patch in this series shares the low 24 bits of every
entry with rev 5 - same gain step amplitudes, only the PAD-gain
selector byte differs. b43's pad_gain extraction in
b43_nphy_tx_pwr_ctl_init() reads bits 19..23 of the gain entry,
which sit in the shared low-24-bit range; the same gain index
therefore maps to the same physical PAD gain code on both
revisions and warrants the same per-index dB offset.

Note that b43_nphy_tx_gain_table_upload() currently has a "TODO:
Enable this once we have gains configured" early-return for
phy->rev >= 7. With that early-return in place, this table is
fetched (silencing the b43err that would otherwise abort PHY
init) but its values are not yet written to MMIO. Resolving the
TODO is a future, separate task.
