The DMA latency issue is observed only in Intel pinetrail platforms but
in the driver we had a default PM-QOS value of 55. This caused
unnecessary power consumption and battery drain in other platforms.
Address this issue by disabling PM-QOS by default by setting it's value
as '0' and making code changes appropriately.This addresses the bug:

If the user sees some DMA latency issue he can still use the pmqos as a
module parameter to trade power for throughput as below:
sudo modprobe ath9k pmqos=55

Thanks, but we got to consider user space approach which Luis had mentioned.
Looks good to me with the exception of ATH9K_PM_QOS_DEFAULT_VALUE. But
John already mentioned that.
