Subject: [27/71] ath9k: fix a chip wakeup related crash in ath9k_start

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>

commit f62d816fc4324afbb7cf90110c70b6a14139b225 upstream.

When the chip is still asleep when ath9k_start is called,
ath9k_hw_configpcipowersave can trigger a data bus error.
