ath9k_hw: read and backup AR_WA register value even before chip reset on.
We need to read and backup AR_WA register value permanently and reading this after the chip is awakened results in this register being zeroed out. This seems to fix the ASPM with L1 enabled issue that we have observed. The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1 enabled without this fix.
