[PATCH v3 12/13] wifi: mt76: mt7925: disable ASPM and runtime PM for MT7927

Disable PCIe ASPM unconditionally for MT7927. The CONNINFRA power
domain and WFDMA register access are unreliable with PCIe L1 active,
causing throughput to drop from 1+ Gbps to ~200 Mbps.

Disable runtime PM and deep sleep for MT7927. The combo chip shares
a CONNINFRA power domain between WiFi (PCIe) and BT (USB).
SET_OWN/CLR_OWN transitions on the LPCTL register crash the BT
firmware, requiring a full power cycle to recover. PM enablement will
be addressed in a follow-up once safe power state transitions are
determined.
