[ Upstream commit 12c8f3d1cdd84f01ee777b756db9dddc1f1c9d17 ]

When trying to set the noise floor via debugfs, a "data bus error"
crash like the following can happen:

[   88.759981] Rebooting in 3 seconds..

The "REG_READ(ah, AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL)" in ath9k_hw_loadnf() does not
like being called when the hardware is asleep, leading to this crash.

The easiest way to reproduce this is trying to set nf_override while
the hardware is down:

  $ ip link set down dev wlan0
  $ echo "-85" > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/nf_override

Fixing this crash by waking the hardware up before trying to set the
noise floor. Similar to what other ath9k debugfs files do.

Tested on a Lima board from 8devices, which has a QCA 4531 chipset.
