[ Upstream commit 12c8f3d1cdd84f01ee777b756db9dddc1f1c9d17 ]
When trying to set the noise floor via debugfs, a "data bus error" crash like the following can happen:

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.
