[PATCH 1/2] ethdev: fix SFF-8472 external Rx power calibration

With external calibration, SFF-8472 defines the received power
as a fourth order polynomial of the raw reading x:

  RX_PWR(4) * x^4 + RX_PWR(3) * x^3 + RX_PWR(2) * x^2 +
  RX_PWR(1) * x + RX_PWR(0)

The decoder computed RX_PWR(0) + x * (RX_PWR(1) + RX_PWR(2) + RX_PWR(3))
and ignored RX_PWR(4), so the reported power was wrong for modules
using the higher order coefficients.

Evaluate the polynomial in double precision and clamp the result
to the 16-bit range of the stored value, as converting an out of range
floating point value to an integer is undefined behavior.
