b43: LP-PHY: Remove BROKEN from B43_PHY_LP
Larry has reported success getting scan data with an LP-PHY device,
so it's probably time to release LP-PHY support for testing.
Also disable 802.11a support for now, as 802.11a currently causes
the driver to panic on startup (NULL pointer dereference).

- SAY N.
+ This is heavily experimental, and probably will not work for you.
+ Say N unless you want to help debug the driver.
