ath5k: allocate ath5k_hw prior to initializing hw
We can propagate better errors upon failed hw initialization, and set up the ath_common structure for attach purposes. This will become important once we start using the ath_common for read/write ops. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
