A previous clean-up fix removed the assignment of v2 inside a while loop
that turned it into an infinite loop. Fix this by restoring the assignment
of v2 from array[] so that v2 is updated inside the loop.

I tested RTL8812AE/8821AE. Luckily, parsing current PHY register parameters
never falls into the check condition.

Thanks for your correction. I'm sorry for this stupid mistake.
