The proposed ath9k change looks fine. The AR_TSF_L32 write does not
actually change TSF and hardware will just store the value temporarily.
The actual change is started by writing the AR_TSF_U32.

It looks like there are some corner cases where the TSF may not actually
change if it is being updated (e.g., a Beacon is received) or we are
waking up from sleep mode etc., but I would hope they do not matter too
much with this debugging need.
