Subject: [34-longterm 029/196] ath9k: fix a chip wakeup related crash in ath9k_start

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit f62d816fc4324afbb7cf90110c70b6a14139b225 upstream.

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