b43: route d11 corerev 22 to 24-bit indirect radio access

Rev 22 backports the older 802.11 core but pairs it with a radio
in the 2057 family, which requires the 24-bit indirect path. With
the current dispatch, corerev 22 falls into the legacy 4-wire branch,
reads garbage for radio_id, and bails out with -EOPNOTSUPP at the
"FOUND UNSUPPORTED RADIO" branch below.

brcmsmac handles the same silicon family with the equivalent
dispatch in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/
phy_cmn.c read_radio_reg() and write_radio_reg():

    if ((D11REV_GE(pi->sh->corerev, 24)) ||
        (D11REV_IS(pi->sh->corerev, 22)
         && (pi->pubpi.phy_type != PHY_TYPE_SSN))) {
            /* radioregaddr / radioregdata (indirect) */
    } else {
            /* phy4waddr / phy4wdatalo (legacy)      */
    }

b43 does not support SSN/SSLPN PHYs - they are rejected earlier in
b43_phy_versioning() at the "unsupported PHY type" switch - so just
adding the check corerev == 22 will do.
