There are few places where we are checking for macversion and revsions
before RTC is powered ON. However we are reading the macversion and
revisions only after RTC is powered ON and so both macversion and
revisions are actully zero and this leads to incorrect srev checks.
fix this by reading the macversion and revisisons even before we start
using them. There is no reason why should we delay reading this info
until RTC is powered on as this is just a register information.

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.

yes.. not required on every reset and we can read it in __ath9k_hw_init itself
right before ath9k_hw_set_reset_reg().
I just overlooked the reset part for WARM/COLD which is mostly the case except
for ar9280 with olc and just wanted to retain how it was before for POWER_ON.
will send v2 thanks.

Why re-read the revision on every reset?
