ath10k: enable pci soc powersaving
By using SOC_WAKE register it is possible to bring down power consumption of QCA61X4 from 36mA to 16mA when associated and idle. Currently the sleep threshold/grace period is at a very conservative value of 60ms. Contrary to QCA61X4 the QCA988X firmware doesn't have Rx/beacon filtering available for client mode and SWBA events are used for beaconing in AP/IBSS so the SoC needs to be woken up at least every ~100ms in most cases. This means that QCA988X is at a disadvantage and the power consumption won't drop as much as for QCA61X4. Due to putting irq-safe spinlocks on every MMIO read/write it is expected this can cause a little performance regression on some systems. I haven't done any thorough measurements but some of my tests don't show any extreme degradation. The patch removes some explicit pci_wake calls that were added in 320e14b8db51aa ("ath10k: fix some pci wake/sleep issues"). This is safe because all MMIO accesses are now wrapped and the device is woken up automatically if necessary.
