+    ath9k_hw: do not lower ANI setting below default on AR913x
+    
+    When the amount of noise fluctuates strongly, low immunity settings
+    can sometimes disrupt signal detection on AR913x chips. When that
+    happens, no OFDM/CCK errors are reported anymore, and ANI tunes the
+    radio to the lowest immunity settings.
+    Usually rx/tx fails as well in that case.
+    
+    To fix this, keep noise immunity settings at or above ANI default level,
+    which will keep radio parameters at or above INI values.
