[PATCH 1/2] ath9k_htc: do some initial hardware configuration

[Oleksij Rempel]

Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after
interface start. In this case, if we reload module or
reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze.
There is no software way to reset adpter.

This patch add initial configuration and set it in
disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch
should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

[PATCH 2/2] ath9k_htc: reboot firmware if it was loaded

[Oleksij Rempel]

Currently ath9k_htc will reboot firmware only if interface was
ever started. Which lead to the problem in case where interface
was never started but module need to be reloaded.

This patch will partially fix bug "ath9k_htc: Target is unresponsive"
https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/issues/1

Reproduction case:
- plug adapter
- make sure nothing will touch it. Stop Networkmanager or blacklist mac address of this adapter.
- rmmod ath9k_htc; sleep 1; modprobe ath9k_htc
