mwifiex: Read a PCI register after writing the TX ring write pointer
On the 88W8897 PCIe+USB card the firmware randomly crashes after setting
the TX ring write pointer. The issue is present in the latest firmware
version 15.68.19.p21 of the PCIe+USB card.
Those firmware crashes can be worked around by reading any PCI register
of the card after setting that register, so read the PCI_VENDOR_ID
register here. The reason this works is probably because we keep the bus
from entering an ASPM state for a bit longer, because that's what causes
the cards firmware to crash.
This fixes a bug where during RX/TX traffic and with ASPM L1 substates
enabled (the specific substates where the issue happens appear to be
platform dependent), the firmware crashes and eventually a command
timeout appears in the logs.
