[hpsdr] Magister - getting the mic to work

The mic is not working because the I2C bus from Magister is not 
connected to the Atlas bus by default.    This causes the 
initialization of the codec on Penelope to fail, and no 
initialization means no mic.

Easy to fix - shorting blocks need to be added to two jumpers on 
Magister    On my Rev A board (pre production, but I believe the 
production boards are pretty much the same) the jumpers are to the 
left of U1 when looking at the top of the board with the Atlas 
connector to the bottom. The silkscreen says I2C to Atlas and the 
jumpers are labeled SCL and SDA.   Horizontally adjacent pins should 
be shorted by a shorting block.  If you don't have shorting blocks on 
hand I'd suggest scrounging  some off old PC cards.

Cheers,
