commit e34f2ff40e0339f6a379e1ecf49e8f2759056453 upstream.

A regression was introduced in commit id 79d4db1214a ("ath9k: cleanup led_pin initial") that broken the WLAN status led on my laptop with AR9287 after suspending and resuming.

Steps to reproduce:
* Suspend (laptop)
* Resume (laptop)
* Observe that the WLAN led no longer turns ON/OFF depending on the status and is always red

Even though for my case it only needs to be set to OUT in ath9k_start but for consistency bring back the IN direction setting as well.
